articule is proud to collaborate for a third year with SAVAC to screen Monitor 9: New South Asian Short Film and Video. The Monitor series is an annual short film and video screening program that showcases new and innovative work by artists from Canada and internationally. Monitor 9 is a unique platform for independent work that brings together poignant films and videos that explore bodies in flow.
