Frieze and the ICA present a programme of artists’ film and moving image to coincide with Frieze London 2026.
From 12–18 October, the ICA’s Upper Gallery hosts a drop-in screening programme, with a selection of works playing on a continuous loop throughout each day. Featuring artists Biogal, Dimitra Charamandas, Nina Davies, Kamil Dossar, Aziz Hazara, Khaled Jarada, Julia Kater, Ali Kazma, Djofray Makumbu, Anastasia Sosunova and Yuyan Wang, the programme brings together a diverse range of contemporary moving-image practices.
Selected by May Adadol Ingawanij (Professor of Cinematic Arts, University of Westminster), Nicole Yip (Director, Spike Island, Bristol) and Claire Jackson (Senior Curator, Tramway, Glasgow), the works reflect the breadth of approaches to film and moving image explored by artists today.
Alongside the in-person screenings, the programme is available to stream online until 30 October. Watch the programme online.
