bio

John Price is an independent filmmaker who has produced experimental documentaries, dance and diary films since 1986. His love of analog photography led naturally to extensive alchemical experimentation with a wide range of motion picture film emulsions and camera formats. Engagement with these modes of creation connected the way an images texture communicates subtext and is a key feature of his work and the work he shoots for others.

He has received production support from The National Film Board, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto and his work has been exhibited at festivals and galleries internationally. He has also produced film projections for opera and dance and has led workshops in Canada and Europe. He is active as a Toronto based cinematographer working with directors like Bruce Macdonald, Charles Officer, Rob Pilichowski, Peter Lynch, Liz Marshall, Annette Mangaard. and Mike Hoolboom among others.
