Description:

Aesthetica Art Prize shortlisted artist Andrea Luka Zimmerman, lecturer at Central St Martins and nominee for the Jarman Award and winner of the ArtAngel Open Award, spoke in conversation with Maggie Ellis, Head of Artists’ Moving Image at Film London, about the evolution that is occurring in artists’ film as it defies categorisation through adaptation of more cinematic practices. Working at the intersection of public and private memory, Zimmerman uses fiction and documentary devices to challenge official histories, marginalisation and political, social and economic violence.

Tackling themes in today’s artistic climate through lectures, portfolio reviews and panel discussions, the Future Now symposium focuses on the arts ecosystem within a broader social context. The symposium is a place for an exchange of ideas, offering support, talent development and networking opportunities to those working in the sector.
