We are excited to announce that Far East Deep South has been selected to screen as part of the prestigious Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. Originally set to be in-person screenings, the tour has now moved to a virtual screening format February 14-17; February 21-24, 2021 and will include a virtual Q&A with director, Larissa Lam, and producer, Baldwin Chiu.
The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers connects US-based documentary filmmakers with Screening Partner communities throughout the South to share their work, discuss their process, and engage with audiences.
“Access to independent documentary filmmaking is more important than ever. We have taken steps to ensure that our audiences and filmmakers can share these essential conversations, regardless of the circumstances,” said Teresa Hollingsworth, Program Director for Film and Traditional Arts. “Through Southern Circuit, audiences interact with filmmakers directly, learning about the art of filmmaking and engaging with issues relevant to their community through a new lens.”
Since its inception in 1975, Southern Circuit has brought some of best independent filmmakers and their films from around the country to communities throughout the South. The program is presented by South Arts and made possible through a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
