monitor 16

Calling all artists and filmmakers! SAVAC (South Asian Visual Arts Centre) is now accepting submissions for MONITOR, its longstanding experimental film and video program. The 16th iteration will be collaboratively curated by Sameena Siddiqui and Vicky Moufawad-Paul.

MONITOR is dedicated to the presentation of experimental short films and videos that initiate dialogue around the shifting nature of politics, economies, and landscapes across the Global South and its diasporas. Since 2005, SAVAC has engaged an international community of artists, curators, and audiences through artists’ works that transcend languages, borders, and political divides. 

Artists and filmmakers are invited to submit new, independent, and innovative works that balance aesthetic explorations with critical narratives and subject matters. We encourage artistic approaches that are creative, unconventional, and take risks in their form, content, and style.
