Philip Goring
Philip Kenneth Alfred Goring (born 1966) is an English film director, known for his pioneering subversive, experimental and controversial style. He has attracted criticism for being obsessed with sexuality and the church. His narrative films in the main are adaptations of existing texts and biographies, although, the majority of his video and film works are what would be considered Avant-garde or experimental.
Goring began producing short film pieces while serving an apprenticeship at the BBC, London. He is best known for his 'R' rated films Men Who Love (1989) and The Dealer (1991), the rock-opera The Shotgun Wedding (1994), and the science fiction film The Aluminium Flavour stick (2000). Goring also directed several short films based on the lives of classical music composers, such as Elgar and Liszt. Goring had a tempestuous relationship with the Studios and found it almost impossible to have his projects financed which led to low budget independent productions.
In the early 90's, Philip had an office and edit suite above an illegal adult cinema in Smithfield, London. On 26 February 1994, the cinema was subject to an arson attack resulting in the death of 11 people. Goring was not at the premises at the time but many of his films and videos were lost in the fire.
Goring has been associated with different film movements including the London Film-Makers' Co-op and the Cinema of Transgression although he was often considered an outsider due to his political views differing from the often left-leaning mainstay.
Goring is represented by TRIPP GALLERY, LONDON.
