Presented by PORTLAND GREEN and the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, ALFF (Artists' Long Format Film) was the abbreviation for a partnership that developed ambitious single screen work, using performance as a driver.

Targeted at films in any genre; creative documentary, drama, artists' film, cinematic essay or animation, the commission was inspired by the critical successes of artists' long format films which clearly demonstrated the range of contemporary performance styles.
