They are one in the same. Both encompass each other.
Tom Cruise is an artist
His medium is movies
His genre is action, drama, crazy Scientology guy
Will Ferrell is an artist
His medium is movies and television
His genre is comedy
Michelangelo is an artist
He's dead
His medium was stone, oils, architecture, etc
His genre was mostly religion
What do you think people did for entertainment back when Michelangelo was alive? Watch TV? No, they looked at paintings and sculptures.
Another thing to consider ... are the actors the artist or is the director?
Personally, I think the director is the artist, film is the medium and the actors are the directors tools ...
Although I do agree with Sieanr, entertainment and art are two very seperate things; as I see it art has an important message to deliver. In my opinion, it is possible to skillfully paint a still life and for it not to be art ... at the same time a Will Farell movie could be art ...
