Stephen Dwoskin
Stephen Dwoskin (1939-2012) became known through a series of short films in the underground scenes of New York and London in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dwoskin worked on several feature films, ranging from fiction to documentary portrait, essay film, and autobiography. Stricken with polio in his childhood, several of his films, including Behindert (1974), reflect his experience with disability. The author of around thirty experimental films with autobiographical inspiration, Dwoskin is known for his filmed diary. He also worked with artists Carolee Schneemann, Jenny Runacre, Carola Regnier, Cosey Fanni Tutti, and Beatrice "Trixie" Cordua, and had a long collaboration with composer Gavin Bryars. In the 2000s, Dwoskin returned to the underground, adopting new digital technology for the freedom it offered him, culminating in Age Is... (2012), his last film presented posthumously.
