Monitor 5, SAVAC's fifth annual screening of contemporary South Asian film and video offers a curated glimpse into the vast amount of work being created by South Asian artists internationally.

"We are both sculptor and creature of our world. We construct our reality just as we are products of it. We process and consume, we contemplate and react, and we complicate. It is in these processes, in these states of becoming, that we manifest who we are and what we believe in. The ten artists from five countries in MONITOR 5 author a collective meditation that is heavily steeped in reality, inspired y imagination, and prompted by tradition. Ultimately, they are asking us to look at ourselves. "
