MONITOR 7: New South Asian Film and Video
DEADLINE: November 10, 2010

SAVAC (South Asian Visual Arts Centre) invites submissions for its  
seventh annual experimental short film and video screening program,  
Monitor 7.
Monitor 7 is dedicated to the presentation of experimental short  
films and videos by/and/or about South Asians from Canada and around  
the world. We invite independent and innovative short films and  
videos that explore the aesthetic and form of the moving image and  
its relation to narrative. Monitor 7 encourages new, experimental and  
risk-taking work that challenges the viewer’s active engagement.

Selected works will be screened at the sixth annual short film and  
video program, Monitor 7 in March 2011 in Toronto, Canada.
Monitor 7 will be curated by Ayesha Hameed (video artist, writer and  
currently Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Research  
Architecture, Goldsmiths) in collaboration with a MONITOR Jury (TBC).

Works must be under 20 minutes and produced after 2008.
