He served as Associate Professor and Head of Screen and Design at Deakin University in Melbourne.

Career

[edit | edit source]

Since the 1970s, de Bruyn has produced work in animation, film performance, and installation art.[1] His practice explores themes of trauma, memory, and the materiality of the moving image. He was ranked third in the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers' Top 50 Australian Independent Film Heroes (2007).[2]

In January 1986, a program of de Bruyn's short films was presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as part of its Cineprobe series.[3]

In 2013, the Film-Philosophy Conference in Amsterdam hosted a panel titled Trauma/Memory/Expanded Cinema: The Films of Dirk de Bruyn.[4]

Full retrospective programs of his films have been screened at:
