We're delighted to announce the 2026 Jarman Award shortlist!

The artists selected for the 2026 Film London Jarman Award Shortlist are:

Sadia Pineda Hameed
Ilona Sagar
Rhea Storr
Alia Syed

The 2026 Film London Jarman Award shortlist invites us to step back, look again and change our point of view. The shortlisted artists present work that is brave, poetic and uniquely experimental in its approach. Storytelling, family relationships and oral histories intertwine with home movies, archival footage and abstract images in works that explore migration, identity, and intergenerational trauma. Elsewhere the selected artists tackle diverse themes, from shining a light on the cultural representation of Caribbean diaspora communities in the UK to delivering hard-hitting messages about the structure of society through collaborative works that incorporates interviews and documentary footage.
