Paul Clipson has shown his films internationally in various galleries, festivals and performance venues in Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and Russia, as well as throughout the U.S. He works primarily in film, video and on paper, often collaborating on films, live performances and installations with sound artists and musicians.

“Achieving such cerebrally enchanting filmic expressions of the innate and hypnotic psychedelia of the surrounding world seems to be a trademark mastery of contemporary San Francisco artist Paul Clipson. Although not a musician himself, his approach to filmmaking as a creative act functions and resonates more musically than filmically. Using Super 8 film allows Clipson to intimately weave the practice of his filmmaking into an extension of living whereby the improvised collages of in-camera edits, dissolves and double exposures lull you into the vast architecture of nature itself, cascading through fields of light and shadow, foliage, aquatic reflections and other ephemeral luminescences of urban ecology.” – FPS, New Zealand International Film Festival 2009
