CIRCUIT: Dialogues in Artist Moving Image celebrates a decade of artist moving image production in Aotearoa New Zealand from 2015–2025. At once an archive, survey, and richly visual publication, the book brings together 46 films commissioned through CIRCUIT’s annual programme, each developed through an extended dialogue between an artist and an international curator.

Designed by Eva Charlton, and generously illustrated with stills from each of the commissioned films, CIRCUIT: Dialogues in Artist Moving creates a vivid record of a decade of artist moving image practice in Aotearoa. Alongside the images the publication includes essays from CIRCUIT curators based in UK, Asia, USA, Singapore, USA and Australia; and a text by Jess Clifford on each commissioned work. 

A new essay by CIRCUIT Director Mark Williams reflects on the development of artist moving image practice in Aotearoa over the past decade, tracing the evolution of CIRCUIT’s international partnerships and their impact on the visibility of Aotearoa moving image practice locally, nationally, and internationally.
