Travelling Film South
Asia
10-15 outstanding documentaries
from the Subcontinent that are screened at the
biennal Film South Asia festival travel all over
the Subcontinent and the world as the Travelling
Film South Asia festival. This mobile campaign
to promote and popularize South Asian documentaries
stops at more than 50 international venues between
the regular parent Film South Asia festivals that
are held every two years in Kathmandu.
The films selected for TFSA showcase the best
of South Asian non-fiction film-making, giving
audiences an opportunity to sample an exciting
range of topics and themes, presentation styles
and techniques.
These festivals are often held by universities,
colleges, cultural centers, local theatres, as
well as part of larger film festivals and have
become instrumental in spreading knowledge about
cultures, societies, politics etc. of the South
Asian region.
In addition, it is drawing attention of the
local as well as the international community to
the skills of South Asian filmmakers in making
meaningful documentaries and adding to the confidence
of filmmakers whose works are selected and screened
in such multitude.
The Travelling Film South Asia is an effort
on Film South Asia's part, to alert the world
to the stories and skills in existence in South
Asia through the powerful medium of the documentary.
