Multiple DCPs for Film Londons Jarman Award 2024We have been working with The Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network (FLAMIN) to convert several new films into DCP format for Film London's 17th Jarman Award for cinema screening.
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 film-makers in the UK.
We were asked to create DCP files for some of the shortlisted films, including Larry Achiampong’s film A Letter (Side B) and Artist and filmmaker Sin Wai Kin Dreaming The End and Maryam Tafakory's film Nazarbazi.
In Larry Achiampong’s film A Letter, we witness the story of a man facing sectioning. The unfolding narrative collapses time to reveal the impact of history, immigration and geographical separation on two brothers living in Britain and Ghana.
Sin Wai Kin uses moving image and performance to invite viewers to think beyond binary constructions. Set in opulent palaces and enchanting Italian gardens, their film, Dreaming the End, brings forth both the familiar and the uncanny in an interlocking tapestry of dreamlike narratives and enigmatic characters.
After some chasing around we had all the films ready to be converted into DCP and the files were delivered to Film London electronically in time for the events screenings. Some films needed captions adding as open caption format in the DCP itself using XML conversion from SRT captions and some had the captions already burned in as part of the film. There is never one-size for DCPs - please discuss your DCP requirement with us and any screening-specific needs.
UPDATE - A massive congratulation for the 17th Film London Jarman Award won by Maryam Tafakory.
