The Visual Documentary Project aims to use visual forms of expression to complement the growing academic literature that exists on Southeast Asian societies and help promote the richness of Southeast Asian cultures to people in Japan through the medium of documentaries.
This year, the Visual Documentary Project (VDP) invites short documentaries that problematise the label “deviant” in Southeast Asia. From those marginalised, criminalised, to those who pursue de-deviance through how they live, act, or speak. Let us visualize and reflect upon the societal boundaries shifting or being contested in this diverse and dynamic region.
