Join us on Tuesday, 15th October 2024, from 6.30 pm to 8 pm at the Nottingham Contemporary, where we'll dive into the enchanting, baffling, and sometimes downright peculiar world of artists' films. Grab your free ticket and prepare to be wowed by the shortlisted works for this year's Film London Jarman Award. We're not talking about your typical popcorn flicks either. Expect dreamlike cinematic journeys that wander through themes of migration, gender, censorship, and family drama, all while blurring the lines between reality and fiction in ways that would make even the most seasoned film critic scratch their head.
The evening will include a chat with Maryam Tafakory, whose creations stitch together collages of post-Revolutionary Iran with found footage—think of it as a history lesson that you can't fail to find enlightening, if not a bit trippy. Then there's Sin Wai Kin, who challenges the traditional notions of gender while whisking you away to Italian gardens that feel both familiar and a tad bizarre. Plus, you'll hear about the lives of everyday folks, art heists, and, in a twist, an audition for a fictional crime film that challenges everything you thought you knew about storytelling. All six shortlisted artists have a unique way of looking at the world, so expect your brain to be engaged as much as your eyes. And fear not, this event is wheelchair accessible and designed to be accessible to all viewers. For any specific needs, just reach out to the venue. Now, who's ready for some thought-provoking cinema?
