Film Screenings and Q&A: Jarman Award 2024 with Melanie Manchot

Join us for a special screening and Q&A with Melanie Manchot, one of this years shortlisted Jarman Award artists.

Watch the incredible diversity within the world of artists’ filmmaking in the UK, with a presentation of the work of the shortlist of this year’s Film London Jarman Award, which comes with a £10,000 prize. The artists shortlisted this year are: Larry Achiampong, Maeve Brennan, Melanie Manchot, Rosalind Nashashibi, Sin Wai Kin and Maryam Tafakory.

Films in the programme use archival footage, infrared and hacked console cameras, analogue film and costume to explore subjects from multifarious identities, non-linear time and inter-generational trauma to political censorship and night-time contemporary labour.

DEREK JARMAN AWARD

Inspired by visionary British filmmaker Derek Jarman, the Award recognises and supports artists working with the moving image. The shortlisted artists illustrate the spirit of inventiveness within moving image, highlighting the breadth of creativity and craftsmanship the medium has to offer, as well as its powerful ability to engage and provoke audiences. The Award comes with a £10,000 prize.

The winner of the Film London Jarman Award will be announced on the 25 November at the Barbican Centre. The award is presented in partnership with the Whitechapel Gallery and Barbican.

The tour runs from 3 October to 1 December, in partnership with seven arts venues across the UK.
