Phillip Borsos

Phillip Borsos (1953-1995), born in Hobart, Tasmania, arrived in Canada at the age of five and grew up in British Columbia; as a schoolboy in Maple Ridge, he filmed with a 16 mm camera, then studied at the Banff Centre and the Vancouver School of Art. His three short documentaries each received the prize for best short film at the Canadian Film Awards, and one of them was nominated for an Oscar. He then worked in Hollywood, and later on a co-production with China from which his final cut was taken away. He died of leukaemia in Vancouver, at the age of forty-one.
