Date Published: 27.11.2024

Iranian artist and our alumna, Maryam Tafakory (Master of Fine Art, 2015) has won this year’s Film London Jarman award.

Inspired by Derek Jarman, the Jarman Award recognises and supports artists working with moving image and celebrates the spirit of experimentation, imagination and innovation in the work of artist filmmakers in the UK. Maryam Tafakory was awarded the £10,000 prize for her work, which combines found footage with the cinematic traditions of post-revolutionary Iran. Screenings and exhibitions of her work have previously taken place at venues including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Cannes and the Toronto international film festival. She has previously won the Chicago international film festival’s Gold Hugo award.

Many congratulations on this achievement!
