FACT was established as an organisation focussed on video and new media art, exhibiting and curating the work of artists that had little platform in the UK.

Since then, FACT has presented over 350 new media and digital artworks from artists including Pipilotti Rist, Nam June Paik, Haroon Mirza, Agnes Varda, Wu Tsang and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

In 2007 Picturehouse at FACT hosted a Question and Answer session with Quentin Tarantino for the UK release of Death Proof.
