International Women's Day

Women’s and Gender Studies at UWindsor is pleased to support the South Asian Film Festival 2021—“Stories of, by and from South Asia”

This is a FREE, virtual Film Festival showcasing 15 South Asian documentaries from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Myanmar!

This unique festival is inviting audiences all over the world to register and access these films free of cost.

The festival is aimed at amplifying South Asian culture and activism to create meaningful dialogues and intercultural awareness. We see these films as important resources for students, researchers, faculties and general film enthusiasts to learn more about South Asia and its diaspora.
