Paul Tarragó is a multifaceted filmmaker residing in London, whose body of work seamlessly blends the realms of underground experimentation and metafiction, masterfully manipulating the very fabric of film language while maintaining a firm grasp on narrative.
Tarragó's cinematic endeavors have garnered widespread recognition, with his work being showcased at numerous esteemed film festivals and galleries worldwide, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the New York Underground Film Festival, the European Media Art Festival, the National Review of Live Art, Triangle France, and Kino der Kunst, to name a few.
Throughout his career, Tarragó has amassed an impressive repertoire, comprising award-winning experimental narratives, video installations, a collaborative feature film, cinematic sketchbooks, and even moving image and live soundtrack performance pieces.
The DIY ethos that underpins Tarragó's approach to filmmaking can be attributed in part to his formative experiences as a core member and activist with the Exploding Cinema collective, a pioneering organization dedicated to developing innovative methods of exhibition for low-budget and artists' film and video, as well as related performance art.
This collective's influence has undoubtedly shaped Tarragó's creative trajectory, allowing him to push the boundaries of traditional filmmaking and forge a distinctive path that is uniquely his own.
