Film is an art form. With this in mind, I believe the way it weaves between art forms is integral to a full appreciation of the medium. While 2001:A Space Odyssey is not out of place in a gallery or a cinema, there is also a reason Glengarry Glen Ross and Rain Man were adapted to theatre. The film star Marilyn Monroe became iconic through Andy Warhol’s screen prints. Charlie Chaplin’s tramp is used as street art. And, in turn, plays become films and artist biography’s become Mr Turner and our artistic ambitions are realised in Midnight in Paris. Not to mention how films now bleed into television with critical acclaim within series including Fargo and Daredevil. Of course, comic-books are the combination of literature and fine-art. Culture is much bigger, and bolder, than entertainment
Culturefly is a site that explores the broader definition of Culture. This includes art, photography, television, theatre, cinema and literature. Since March 2015, I have contributed monthly Art Exhibition reviews for London galleries among Theatrical and Home Release movie reviews.
