Project Background
A Movie is a collaboration set up to challenge audiences' expectations of the cinema experience. Six new short films were commissioned from some of the most exciting visual artists working with the moving image. The works were premiered at Frieze Art Fair 2005 and subsequently toured cinemas throughout the UK in 2006, taking the films out of the gallery and into cinemas across the country. Different A Movie films were screened before selected features from the main programme.
