Peter Lynch - Filmmaker
“Over the past few years, Peter Lynch has proven to be one of the most important filmmakers in Canada.”
-Liz Czach, Programmer, Toronto International Film Festival
A widely acclaimed filmmaker, Peter Lynch’s work is frequently compared with that of Werner Herzog and Errol Morris. Fans of Lynch’s films range from Quentin Tarantino (“Kill Bill”) to Matthew Barney (“Cremaster series”). His stories about the frailties, dreams, and ambitions of human beings resonate with audiences the world over. They also present a significant cultural view of Canada and many have already become cult classics.
His first dramatic short “Arrowhead” received a Genie Award in 1994. In 1996, Lynch made the wildly successful “Project Grizzly,” one of the most acclaimed Canadian documentaries of all time, and referenced the next year on “The Simpsons”. This was followed by “The Herd” which Lynch co-wrote and directed. “The Herd” was a festival hit worldwide and is still a regular fixture on CBC movies. In 2001 “Cyberman”, a portrait of Steve Mann played to critical acclaim at over fifty international film festivals and was listed as one of the top ten feature films of 2002 by Film Comment.
Lynch comes out of an interdisciplinary background in the arts and is responsible for staging many seminal multimedia cultural events in Toronto and around the world, notably Kitchen Sync. This video and performance spectacle, staged in 1982, featured performances of over thirty artists including Eric Bogosian (“Talk Radio”) and Fab Five Freddy and the Rock Steady Crew.
During this period, Lynch was a major player in the early video/new media revolution and chronicler of punk, new wave music, hip-hop, dancehall, and the avant-garde music scene. Between 1983-1987 Lynch co-founded, co-produced and co-directed Video Culture International, a landmark video new media festival. These projects ranged from staging works with Brian Eno and a major installation work with Nam June Paik to producing shorts for artists like Stuart Sherman and video wizard John Sanborn.
Lynch is currently finishing a one-hour documentary for The History Channel called “Bloodlines”. He has also just completed a short film on artist Max Deans, “Robotic Chair”, which will be part of a larger collaboration with the artist on a film about falling. In addition to his filmmaking, Lynch is a regular advisor to the selection committee at the Canadian Film Centre, where he also gives workshops and consults.
Peter Lynch lives and works in Toronto, Canada. He is a self-proclaimed amateur archeologist an avid collector of contemporary art, a soccer freak, a foodie, and extensive traveler.

Born in 1974
Lives and works in Paris
“A few years ago, I organized events in Paris about the relationship between visual arts and electronic music. Basically my work investigates the physical and emotional possibilities in sound and visual installations. It is engaged with ideas around threshold, silence, rhythm, time, duration, contemplation and perception. For the most part, I create my projects in-situ with the constraints of space and time so that I may produce some hybrid pieces, which sometimes refer to art, music or cinema by using manufactured objects, electronic devices, photography, video and sound

Motomichi Nakamura was born in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from Parsons School of Design in New York he moved to Ecuador where he started working as an artist. He returned to the U.S. in 2000 and currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
The subjects in his work often reflect a conflictive nature and can be frightening yet humorous, part human and part monsters. They can also appear at once childlike and sexually deviated. The use of color in both his digital work and in his paintings is limited to black, red and white.
His digital animation work has been exhibited at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in NYC and has appeared in the Sundance and the Onedotzero film festivals. He has performed his live video/animation mix at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and at other recognized venues in the U.S. and Europe. Recent collaboration work includes music videos with Swedish band The Knife and with Otto von Schirach.

Lisa Dillin received her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and her BFA from Atlanta College of Art. She currently teaches at Pratt Institute in the ID Department, and coordinates the woodshop for the Foundation program at Parson’s. Dillin has taught courses previously at Altos de Chavon (an affiliate of Parsons School of Design), Cranbrook Summer Art Institute, Baltimore City Public Schools, School 33 Art Center, and Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, she now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Her sculptures investigate the presence of artificial nature in interior décor, product design, marketing, architecture, and landscape architecture as well in historical works of art. Technique, attention to detail, and working with the hands, are integral to her studio production process. The recognizable elements of her forms are squeezed through a personal aesthetic filter turning the elements into a simplified, softened version of reality. Her work has been selected for exhibition at various venues including the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills MI, the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids MI, the Museum of New Art (MONA) in Pontiac MI, Signal 66 in Washington DC, Maryland Art Place in Baltimore MD, and the Creative Alliance in Baltimore MD.
