Art as film, the screen is the filmmaker's canvas (making for the screen determines if a work is a film/movie or an internet video project)
Art as Film In the past people took Hollywood and other film and re-categorized it as art. That is a valid way to go - as underneath the epic financial and business structure needed for Hollywood filmmaking and distribution, there is a lot of creativity in the actual movies. The opposite can also be done. An art project that ends up creating a work that resembles, in some ways, a Hollywood or other film, is also valid. Art as film. The main difference being that an art project does not need to be made according to Hollywood rules or independent filmmaking rules. It can use work methods inspired by paintings (one creator typically), or experimental film (non-narrative, one creator typically) or art film (one or more creators, work is made for creative expression purposes primarily). The art work can be made for $0 or $1 million or more - whatever money the artist has available or whatever money the art project/the film requires. Once the work is completed it can be distributed
