****CALL FOR ENTRIES**** ******CHINGARI VIDEOFEST: SOUTH ASIAN VIDEO FESTIVAL****** Chingari Forum announces the first Chingari South Asian Video Festival at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Chingari VideoFest will provide an opportunity for progressive videographers to showcase their work during the Annual Conference on South Asia organized by the UW-Madison Center for South Asia. This year the conference will be held Friday, October 17-Sunday, October 19, 1997. Fiction and non-fiction works related to South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) and the diaspora are invited. We seek projects that concern a politically progressive agenda and promote critical discourse around such issues as the labor movement; racism; religious fundamentalism; economic globalization and market fundamentalism and its impact on the poor; patriarchy and gender politics; the location and construction of social identities; lesbian, gay, and bisexual struggles; social justice movements; political and economic human rights; and environmental degradation. Submissions from first-time directors are especially welcomed. Entries should be submitted on video (**ONLY VHS 1/2 INCH PLEASE**; NTSC/PAL/SECAM are all acceptable). 16mm/35mm film transferred to video is also acceptable. English language subtitles are desirable to facilitate a wider viewing audience, but are not necessary. We strongly encourage filmmakers to donate their entries to the UW-Madison Center for South Asia video collection. However, entrants who wish their videos to be returned should include self-addressed and stamped mailers. Submissions must be received by **Friday, September 12, 1997** and all entrants will be notified by October 1, 1997. Submissions should be sent to the following address: Center for South Asia University of Wisconsin-Madison Attn: Sharmila Rudrappa 203 Ingraham Hall 1155 Observatory Drive Madison, Wisconsin 53706.
