Arabic science fiction, flying paint and a journey through the black techno scene: this year’s Jarman award nominees offer plenty of vibrant escapism.
Now in its 13th year, the Film London Jarman award – named after the late film-maker Derek Jarman – has a reputation for boosting the careers of its nominees.
In the run-up to the announcement, the work of the shortlisted artists will be available to view through the Whitechapel Gallery website.
A special weekend of online screenings, discussions and performances featuring all six shortlisted artists is set for 14-15 November.
