Luhsun Tan
b. 1966, Brisbane, Australia.

BIOGRAPHY:   Luhsun Tan is a Masters Graduate in Animation of the Film and Television School at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne.

He has worked as an experimental filmmaker locally with Project X, as well as on various multimedia projects, screen based/mixed media installation with D.I.G. and experimental cutting edge theatre with Splinters Inc, as well as various international screen arts projects and Community Television.

His films have screened nationally and internationally at festivals.

CRITICAL OVERVIEW:   Luhsun goes into the clockwork of the collective metaphoric dream, the narrative delivery of the social conscience, how it might mutate into a cinematic sign, visual and punctuated by sound.

He seeks to express their represented form through the possibilities of new technologies using animation, cinematography, sound and drama, a mixed media exploring moments created in the poetic space of cinema.
