3 experimental Australian Cinema series Paul Winkler (born 22 June 1939) is a German-born Australian filmmaker who lives and works in Sydney. He was associated with Corinne and Arthur Cantrill, Albie Thoms and David Perry in pioneering local experimental film production in the 1960s. Winkler characterises his films as a synthesis of intellect and emotion, filtered through the plastic material of film. I try to let imagines flow freely to the surface. The ideas which he terms imagines may reflect Australian icons like Bondi Beach, Ayers Rock/ Uluru and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or textures, as in Bark/Rind, Green Canopy, and the bush.
