Dastavezi: The Audio-Visual South Asia
is a journal for scholars and filmmakers, filmmakers as scholars, and
filmmaking scholars working on regional and transregional South Asia.
The journal provides a platform for linking audio-visual and scholarly
practice from and on South Asia.
Dastavezi is
an open-access archive of audio-visual knowledge. By providing films
published in the journal with Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers, Dastavezi
encourages filmmakers and scholars working on South Asia to cite
documentary film as a legitimate source of academic production.
Furthermore, it aims to make the films accessible to audiences beyond
the structures of the market domain. Through linking the production of
audio-visual material with the filmmaker’s own conceptual writing we
hope to widen the horizons of the existing field of documentary
film-studies, visual-anthropology, and film practices on and from South
Asia.
