Festival Description:

The San Diego Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to upholding and sharing the diverse legacy of Asian Pacific Islanders through the media arts.

The premiere event of the SDAFF is its 8-day annual film festival in October, during which thousands of patrons come out to experience films from around the world and connect with the artists who created them. SDAFF screens Films in the following competitive categories: Dramatic Narrative Feature and Short, Documentary Feature and Animation Short.

In addition, the SDAFF offers a quarterly film series, a membership program, and documentary training for local high school students.

One of our goals is to build stronger ties with area schools to foster meaningful discourse and cultural learning. We also work with more than 100 community, business, and school groups who partner with us on various programs.
