LFS graduate Rebecca E Marshall has been nominated for the 2015 Jarman Awards. This year's shortlist selected from the nominated artists by a jury panel will be announced in June. The national tour of the shortlisted artist's works will take place throughout the autumn and will culminate with a weekend of events at the Whitechapel Gallery in November.
Celebrating the spirit of experimentation, imagination and innovation in the work of UK artist filmmakers, the Jarman Award recognises individual artist filmmakers whose risk-taking work resists boundaries and conventional definition - work that encompasses innovation, excellence and vision.
The purpose of the award is open-ended - an investment in the career of an individual enabling a period of experimentation without pressure. The award shines a light on artist film-makers who are to our times what Jarman was to his.
Any mid-career artist film-maker whose work embraces the spirit and the legacy of Jarman's highly experimental and risk-taking approach can be put forward for this annual prize.
