Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell is set to present this year’s Film London Jarman Award on Nov. 24, where she will also be the guest of honor. Powell frequently collaborated and was mentored by Derek Jarman, whom the award was established in honor of in 2008 to celebrate U.K.-based artist-filmmakers in the film industry. Throughout her career, Powell has also worked with Martin Scorsese, Neil Jordan, Todd Haynes and Yorgos Lanthimos.
From her days collaborating with Derek Jarman on films like ‘Caravaggio’ and ‘Edward II’ to the peerless design she has brought to a staggering array of modern classics, her work is bold, beautiful and boundlessly creative,” said Adrian Wootton, OBE, the chief executive of Film London. Molly Shannon has joined “Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story” as an executive producer before the film’s Los Angeles premiere at the AFI Fest on Oct. 24. After the screening, the Emmy-nominated actress and bestselling author will moderate a Q&A with director, writer and producer Ayden Mayeri, writer, producer and cinematographer Barry Rothbart, producer Rachael Fung and subjects Janet Kariuki, Mary Washburn, Jessica Hall and Robin O’Brien.
I’m so excited to be part of this project and to help share X-Cetra’s story with audiences.” The film made its world premiere at SXSW and won the Documentary Feature Jury Award. Since then, it has screened at the Sydney Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival and the Bentonville Film Festival. After AFI Fest, it will screen at DOC NYC.
