CineAction Issue #91: Art + Film

This issue seeks to investigate the many variations on the relationship
between Art and Film inherent in the joining together of the two words, and
welcomes all interests and approaches.

Some possible topics, such as ?Film as (an) Art (Form)? and ?the Art Film?
have been much-discussed nodes of inquiry in film studies. Documentaries on
Artists (Painters Painting, Never Sorry: Ai Weiwei, Gerhard Richter
Painting) and Artist Biopics , old (Lust for Life, The Agony and the
Ecstasy) and more recent (Basquiat, Pollock, Frida), have proved popular
over the years in their attempts to find narrative drama in an artist?s
life/technique/approach to art, or to merely find a way of presenting
potentially difficult art to the general public.  There are artist-made
films, both experimental (Man Ray, Joseph Cornell, Andy Warhol), and those
intended for commercial distribution (Robert Longo, David Salle, Julian
Schnabel); and films like Banksy?s Exit through the Gift Shop which blur
the boundaries. In addition, there are artists (Christian Marclay, Omer
Fast, Pipilotti Rist, Shirin Neshat) who use the medium of film/video for
gallery-installed artwork.

 Papers should be submitted in hard copy, mailed directly to Susan
Morrison, the editor of this issue. Once accepted for publication, the
paper will then be emailed as a file attachment.
The deadline for submission is  May 15, 2013.  It would be appreciated if a
brief proposal be submitted as early as possible as an indication of
intention to submit.
A style guide is available on our website  www.cineaction.ca
