Single Shot is a series of newly commissioned film and video works by artists and new talent. All the works are shot in one single take.

Inaugurating a series of stagings of the Single Shot pieces at a number of places across London, this special showcase at Tate Britain offers not only the largest single cross-section of the fifteen individual works but, in its imaginative deployment of diverse and unusual spaces, encapsulates something of the wider ambitions of the project as a whole.

Alongside dedicated moving-image galleries like Art Now Light Box, Single Shot brings film and video to parts of the building where work is seldom, if ever, displayed. Premiered in the Late at Tate Britain programme on 3 November, the featured Single Shot pieces continue to make an appearance for four weeks thereafter, radiating out across the length and breadth of the Millbank site. Presented as interventions among the collection or in overlooked corners of the main exhibition galleries, Single Shot also provides at-seat visual stimulation for customers of the Tate Britain café, as well as onboard entertainment for passengers travelling on the Tate Boat between the Tate Britain and Tate Modern.

The works are shown on a national tour of cinemas, galleries and other more unusual venues, and many of the works are available as free web downloads.

Single Shot is the first product of a major new collaboration between UK Film Council and Arts Council England.
