Publisher's Synopsis
Since 2009, Adelaide's Samstag Museum of Art - in collaboration with the Adelaide Film Festival - and Melbourne's ACMI have driven major commissioning programs for new moving image works that have helped both redefine and further locate the medium at the core of Australian and global creative practice. This book not only provides a rich reference and documentation of these crucial moving image commissions, but also provides a series of historical and newly commissioned critical and discursive reflections on both the artistic outputs and the role and history of commissioning practice.
