BIO
Phil Solomon (MFA, MCA 1980) has been making films
since 1975 and is currently a Professor of Film Studies at the University of
Colorado at Boulder, where he has been teaching since 1991. He collaborated on
three films with his friend and Boulder colleague, the late Stan Brakhage, who
named Solomon's Remains to be Seen on
his Top Ten Films of All Time list for Sight
and Sound. He is currently working on A
Snailʼs Trail in the Moonlight: Conversations with Brakhage, a video essay
and a book of transcriptions of several years of recordings of Brakhageʼs
Sunday film salons. Phil Solomon has been awarded with a USA Artists Knight’s Fellowship
(2012), the Thatcher Hoffman Smith Creativity in Motion Prize (2007), a
Guggenheim Fellowship (1994), and he has exhibited his films in every major
venue for experimental film throughout the US and Europe, including 2 Whitney
Biennials and three one-person shows at MoMA. Solomon’s films have won First
Prize at numerous international film festivals, including Oberhausen and Black
Maria (6 Juror’s Awards). His recent Grand Theft Auto digital video series, In Memoriam, has received numerous
awards and was named in the Top Ten avant-garde films of the year by the Village Voice. In a recent poll taken by
Film Comment of the top 50 filmmakers
of the first decade of the new century, Phil Solomon was placed at number 5
(tied with Stan Brakhage).
