Paul Cox (1940-) is an award-winning Australian film director and photographer. Cox was born in Venlo, Limburg, the Netherlands, and emigrated to Australia in 1965. He taught photography at Prahran College from 1968 to 1983, where his students included Carol Jerrems and Robert Ashton. He is now better known as a film maker and has collaborated with a number of screenwriters including John Clarke and Bob Ellis.

This exhibition of photographs from the MGA Collection allows the gallery to highlight an aspect of Cox's career that is relatively under appreciated.

MAPh acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
