Paul Bush Retrospective: Challenging the Boundaries

Kaboom Animation Festival 2022

A self-taught filmmaker and a lecturer at countless art and film coursesaround the world, Paul Bush has been producing experimental films since the 1980s. Perhaps most well-known for the frequent use of stop-frame animation, his works are relentlessly inventive and ambitious, and have won him numerous awards.

Bush's films challenge the boundaries between fiction, documentary and animation and showcase various experimental techniques. But above all, beauty is central to his oeuvre, whether he focuses on time, narrative, history or storytelling. Kaboom thinks it's time to dedicate a retrospective to Paul Bush... with Paul Bush. He will be talking to animator Anna Eijsbouts and you'll get to see various of his shorts that prove why he is such a respected name in the experimental film scene.
