Otto Buj

Born in Toronto, Ontario Canada on March 12th 1969, Otto Buj is an art school dropout and self-invented filmmaker based in Windsor, Ontario. He established and programmed the Kinotek Film Society from 1991 to 1997, a respected showcase that screened rarely-seen foreign and independent films in the Windsor-Detroit area. He recently curated Representing Cinema and the Art of the Film Poster, an exhibition of rare and original film posters from his personal collection, which is currently traveling to twelve venues across Canada. The exhibition will be expanding in May 2006, circulated to international venues, and accompanied by an extensive publication. In 2004, Buj completed The Eternal Present, the filmmaker's first feature-length film. It was an independent production, written, directed, produced, edited, conformed, and fully financed by the filmmaker himself. Prior to this, he completed a short film in 1991 titled Population Control.
