As we step into 2025, the world of moving image art is positioned to shine! With a multitude of innovative and thought-provoking exhibitions on the horizon, this year promises to be a defining moment for artists working with film, video and digital forms. From immersive installations, experiments with celluloid to online interventions, a number of upcoming projects are set to captivate viewers and push the boundaries of the discipline. Here are five of the most exciting exhibitions that we are eagerly anticipating in the first half of 2025.

Through three interconnected film installations, the exhibition reveals narrative-making as a constructive world-building force that is never neutral. Sin Wai Kin’s new video work The Time of Our Lives (2024) is initiated by Accelerator and co-produced with Kunsthall Trondheim, Canal Projects, and Blindspot Gallery, and supported by Vince Guo.

Wael Shawky’s solo exhibition will expand across all of Talbot Rice Gallery’s contemporary and neoclassical galleries. Shawky’s penetrating historical analysis will be explored through dramatic retellings of the past, including Drama 1882, which was created for the Egyptian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024. Weaving together a number of Shawky’s large-scale film productions, sculptures (many of which have featured in his films) and drawings, the exhibition will celebrate an extraordinary artist, and through extended academic research, honour the Byzantine and Islamic Art Historian who gave the gallery its name 50 years ago – David Talbot Rice.
