Programme

A selection of the short films by leading contemporary artists commissioned
by Frieze Foundation.

Every year since 2005 Frieze Foundation has commissioned a series of new short films (including several co-commissioned with LUX and the ICO for the Artists Cinema project). The commissions have included work by an extraordinary range of leading contemporary artists, from those who had never worked with film before through to established filmmakers. The films have been premiered at Frieze Art Fair in London, and subsequently screened at cinemas and festivals around the world. The Frieze Film touring programme brings together a selection of these commissions for the first time. From Cannes Palme d’Or winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s The Anthem (2006), a filmic ‘blessing’ for the cinema in which it appears, to Linder’s carnivalesque Forgetful Green (2010), it offers a unique snapshot of contemporary approaches to the moving image.

The programme includes work by Miguel Calderón, Bonnie Camplin, Jess Flood-Paddock, Linder, Shahryar Nashat, Elizabeth Price, Wilhelm Sasnal, Stephen Sutcliffe and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
