******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
