Philip Thompson
Philip Thompson is a Brooklyn based filmmaker, named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film” in 2023 and a Sundance Ignite x Adobe fellow in 2024. His body of work explores the emotional impact that media consumption has on an audience, revealing a world of dark and unspoken emotions often overlooked in on-screen portrayals. He is interested in the one-sided "looking" relationship between viewers and image subjects, and uses cinema as cognitive examination of the medium as a whole. Philip’s films have received the Audience Award for Best Experimental Film at Brooklyn Film Festival, as well as the jury grand prize at the 32nd Onion City Experimental Film + Video Festival. In 2022 he won Best Experimental Film at the world’s largest undergraduate film festival, Ivy Film Festival, along with receiving the festival’s Storyteller Grant for Emerging Young Artists. His work went on to screen at Chicago Underground Film Festival, Bushwick Film Festival, & Athens International Film+Video Festival. In 2023, he co-founded and co-programmed the Ithaca Experimental Film Festival. Philip was raised by his mother, his father, and his television.
