“Short Form: 40 Years of Music Videos, Ads and the Art of Moving Images” at the Institute of Contemporary Arts traces four decades of short-form filmmaking through the lens of the UK production company Academy Films, showing how music videos and adverts have pushed creative boundaries. The event features a screening and a conversation with prominent figures including Jonathan Glazer, Walter Stern and Adam Curtis, reflecting on the cultural impact and legacy of moving-image formats. It offers a critical look at how commercials and music videos have become art forms in their own right, shaping visual culture and storytelling in the short form.
