I couldn’t be happier that my new 1 minute film will get its first outing in the SFW: Shorts competition screening on the big screen at MAST on Sunday 10 November. It’s selected in the Artist Film category and is in the running for four awards. Film Week is run by City Eye, the brilliant community film charity which introduced me to making moving image at the tender age of 14.
My moving image work is currently being screened as part of Our Changing Landscape, a group exhibition at SPUDworks, Sway, until 14th January 2023.
My moving image work is currently being screened as part of the Summer Camp exhibition at Eastside Projects in Digbeth, Birmingham, until 15th October.
I recently presented an online screening of my moving image work I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY, and Q&A hosted by curator Vickie Fear. The recording can now be watched online.
If you would like to watch the film, please send me an email: hello@alysscotthawkins.co.uk and I can send you a private link.
Please join me for an online screening of my moving image work, I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY made during the first UK lockdown of 2020, as a way of documenting the strangeness and dislocation of living through a pandemic. Curator Vickie Fear will host a discussion.
Two of my works were selected for Southampton City Art Gallery‘s biannual Open Exhibition, and I was over the moon to attend the opening and discover that my moving image work I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY had been awarded the New Media Prize.
The other work selected was an ink self-portrait from the ongoing series, this one made after the outbreak of war in Ukraine and a poignant online conversation with fellow artists which we concluded in silence.
The theme of this year’s exhibition is ‘What does culture mean to you?’ and it includes many wonderful works. It’s on until 10th September.
My animated self-portrait has been selected by Animateka Festival, in Ljubljana Slovenia as part of their augmented reality showcase for female animators’ work. It can be viewed on the festival website here, using the free Eyejack app.
Ellie Land and I were invited to curate and host a panel discussion on animated documentary as part of Animate Projects‘ Accelerate programme of online events during lockdown restrictions, funded by Arts Council England and in partnership with British Council Film, in November 2020.
We were joined by film-makers Signe Baumane, Mary Martins and John Summerson, who generously shared with us their thoughts about using their own life stories in their work.
You can watch the recording of our conversation, from here on Vimeo.
My 2002 film, Crying & W*nking, will screen in the Female Figures programme at London International Animation Festival on Wed 5th Dec 2018, at the Barbican Cinema, London.
I’m thrilled to be in excellent company: the screening features work by Michèle Cournoyer, Ruth Lingford, Kate Jessop and Jenny Jokela.
