Selected 7
Selected 7, a collaboration between artists’ film & video platform videoclub and Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network FLAMIN, is designed to present a cross-section of work by British-based artists across the UK. In the spirit of Derek Jarman’s life and work as a queer activist and convention-defying filmmaker, Selected celebrates innovation, experimentation and risk-taking in artists’ film.
This year’s selection sees the work of eight artists (seven of whom are female) presented, whose work explores themes of embodiment and identity, belief systems and gender, including Evan Ifekoya, Hannah Black, Rosie Carr, Ginte Regina, Phoebe Boswell, Adham Faramawy, Sarah Abu Abdallah and Sofia Albina Novikoff Unger.
Jamie Wyld, Director of videoclub and Chair of the Selected panel, says: ‘Selected 7 offers a platform to emerging film artists that supports them to build profile at a crucial point in their career. Previous Selected artists have gone on to be nominated for the Jarman Award themselves, whilst others - such as Chooc Ly Tan of the 2011 and 2014 programmes - have been offered solo exhibitions as a result.’
