SAVAC (South Asian Visual Arts Centre) invites submissions for its ninth annual experimental short film and video screening program, Monitor 9.
Monitor 9 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 9 encourages new, experimental and risk-taking work that challenges the viewer’s active engagement.
Selected works will be screened at the ninth annual short film and video screening program, Monitor 9 on March 14, 2013 in Toronto, Canada. Monitor 9 will be programmed by independent curator and artist Nahed Mansour.
Monitor is reviewed by a jury of contemporary artists, curators and programmers. This year’s jury consists of Renata Mohamed, Noni Kaur, Cheyanne Turions and Rehab Nazzal.
