Ross Lipman

Ross Lipman is an American restorationist, independent filmmaker, and essayist. He is best known for his 2015 documentary ''Notfilm,'' as well as his work with the Bruce Conner Family Trust and as Senior Film Restorationist at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Lipman was the 2008 recipient of Anthology Film Archives' Preservation Honors, and is a three-time winner of the National Society of Film Critics' Heritage Award.

Lipman's essays on film history, technology, and aesthetics have been published in ''Artforum'', ''Sight and Sound'', and in numerous academic books and journals. His films have been screened internationally and have been collected by museums and archives.

His 2015 feature-length documentary ''Notfilm'' about Samuel Beckett's ''Film'' was produced and distributed by Milestone Films and premiered at the BFI London Film Festival. The documentary was prompted by the discovery of long-missing footage from the original production of ''Film'', which Lipman discovered amid reels of outtakes in the apartment of Grove Press publisher and ''Film'' producer, Barney Rosset.
