SOUTH is a groundbreaking anthology of works created by film and video makers from Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Including documentary and fictional films, animation and experimental video, the programs cover a wide range of subjects and issues, reflecting concerns of the Third World as seen from people within it. SOUTH marks the first and most significant collection ever assembled for the purpose of bringing non-western voices to the west. And as the planet continues to grow smaller, these perspectives become increasingly significant to global audiences.
