For the fourth consecutive year, articule is proud to collaborate with SAVAC to present Monitor 10: South Asian Experimental Film & Video. The Monitor series is an annual program of videos and short films showcasing new and innovative works by artists from Canada and abroad. This year, Monitor 10 flips around the concept of melodrama, presenting works from performance videos, to reality television and observational documentary.
