A film intended to interpret a piece of music. The music is used in its entirety, and the images are edited to the music.
Art Film:
Like music video, this category is open ended, using many different shooting and editing techniques, special effects and sound to express its context. Unlike music video, its intention is not to interpret a piece of music. Rather, when music is used, it is used as one element among many to create a unified whole. Art films can explore and expand the current limits of film language. Many techniques commonly used by mainstream filmmakers began as experiments by artists.
