Chingari VideoFest '99 will coincide with the Annual Conference on South Asia organized by UW-Madison Center for South Asia, and will provide an opportunity for independent filmmakers to showcase their work during the conference. Documentary works related to South Asia and its diaspora are invited. We seek politically progressive projects that promote critical discourse around such issues as labor movements; social justice movements; 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; racism; political and economic human rights; and environmental degradation. Entries should have been released in or after 1996, and must be submitted on video (only NTSC, standard VHS 1/2 inch please). English language subtitles are desirable to facilitate a wider viewing audience, but are not necessary. All entries will be returned, unless instructed otherwise. Submissions must be received by Friday, September 17, 1999 and all entrants will be notified by October 1, 1999. Submissions should be sent to the following address: Center for South Asia University of Wisconsin-Madison Attn: V.
