What happens when the language of cinema escapes the screen and enters the gallery? Outside the Frame: Art and the Moving Image chronicles a landmark body of work produced through the Samstag/AFF and ACMI Moving Image Commissions between 2009 and 2022, presenting a rich survey of artists who have pushed the boundaries of film, video, and time-based media as a fine art practice. The anthology gathers commissioned works that interrogate the relationship between the moving image and contemporary art, illustrating how a generation of Australian and international artists have transformed celluloid, digital video, and installation into potent vehicles for cultural expression and critical inquiry. The collection argues that the moving image, long associated with mass entertainment, is one of the most dynamic and politically charged mediums of our time, capable of capturing memory, identity, and social flux with unrivalled immediacy. Each commissioned work documented within these pages stands as a testament to the transformative power of institutional patronage in shaping artistic ambition, and the cumulative effect is a vivid portrait of over a decade of creative risk-taking. For anyone invested in the intersection of cinema and contemporary visual art, this volume raises a provocative and enduring question: where does the frame truly end?
