When does video become art? Looking at examples of the long, and perhaps parallel, histories of cinema and video art, Greg Niemeyer discusses how we can distinguish these two art forms, why it matters, and how video art is different from the reels, clips, and snippets of social media.

Replete with crackling dialogue in fluent gangster-ese, elegant production design, and affecting performances, Miller’s Crossing—a Prohibition-era period piece conjured from Dashiell Hammett’s influential novels The Glass Key and Red Harvest—is classic Coen and quintessential Hammett. “An intoxicating achievement in cinematic chemistry” (Christopher Orr, Atlantic).
