Frieze Film 2008: Road Movie is a four-part film created by artists and film-makers that was produced on YouTube. An experiment in film-making, the final result was a film made in an entirely new way: the first multi-authored fractal film assembled by the artists and curator out of the sum of the submitted parts.

Inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel The Road, the project used the road as a leitmotif for a non-linear journey through the post-apocalyptic landscape.  
 

The final product debuted on Channel 4 on 13th October and is the rather apocalyptic "state of the world" vid set to Fuck Buttons' Ribs Out, which you can see at the top here. The short above - Memories Of Falling Ash - is a superbly neat little submission for the project by DeadShed Productions aka Nick Thomson. Dark in more ways than one, this interesting take on the road movie genre is lavishly atmospheric and promising work indeed.
