How are movies both a spatial and temperal art form?!
Question: If you look at the definition, you can see exactly the difference and you should have no problem....
The order in which we experience a temporal work of art is inherent in the work and is synonymous with its structure. The order in which we experience a spatial work is primarily determined by ourselves; it may or may not respond to the work’s structure (which is unaffected by our choice of order). What is true of the order is true too for the amount of time spent with any particular part of the work.
The spatial work of art is experienced only after it is created, when it already is. The temporal work of art is experienced only as it is re-created, as it becomes. Spatial arts achieve freedom from time; temporal arts achieve freedom within time.
Temporal arts are re-created in time in our presence through a performance. The only analogous act having to do with a spatial work is the actions taken by the creator to create the work. By definition this performance is over by the time we experience the work., though a faint echo of the performer is left inside ourselves as we choose the order in which to experience the work. A temporal work must be re-created over and over. A spatial work is created once.
A temporal work is bounded by time: it has a beginning and an ending. A spatial work is bounded by space but has no “beginning” or “ending” in space (there is no unique direction to space) and is never “over”. In a temporal work, there is no spatial presence or spatial entity that may be said to be the equivalent of the work itself (the dancer is not the dance; the scenery is not the play). The special presence of a spatial work is itself the work (though this is least so with painting, which lies nearest on the spectrum to the temporal arts). A temporal work leaves behind it a spatial residue in the form of a book or a score; the spatial work leaves itself behind in space.

No idea. Tell us, how are movies both a spatial and temperal art form?
