Mark Lipkin
b. Russia.

BIOGRAPHY:   Lipkin’s career as such in film is a modest one. Having been active within the film scene as early as 1996, Lipkin had always spent a great deal of time behind the camera through directing, writing and producing. With a number of shorts to his name along with a feature film, Lipkin has reinvented himself and the group that he heads (LipkinFilms).

LipkinFilms aims predominately to bring out confronting and relevant ideas to the screen fuelled by the drive of Independent Film to the wider audience both in Australia and Overseas.

CRITICAL OVERVIEW:   The human condition and all its complexity has, is and will continue to be the focal point that drives Lipkin to tell stories and bring them out on the silver screen. As the old adage goes that all the stories have already been told, Lipkin’s key interest lies in reinventing and confronting stories that ultimately aim to challenge one’s mode of thinking.

Across the many great names out there that has inspired this Filmmaker, conceivably the following stand out more than others – Andrei Tarkovsky, Alejandro González Iñárritu, D. J. Caruso, Jean Luc-Godard, David Gordon Green and many others.
