The Center for Asian America Media presents the San Francisco International Asian
The Center for Asian America Media presents the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAFF) every March. The SFIAAFF is the nation’s largest showcase for new Asian American and Asian films, annually presenting approximately 120 works in San Francisco, Berkeley and San Jose. Since 1982, the SFIAAFF has been an important launching point for Asian American independent filmmakers as well as a vital source for new Asian cinema.
“It’s [SFIAAFF] great. I’m really proud to be part of it because it’s a community. It really is a community. And it’s great to see the variety of films this year. We’ve gone beyond talking and complaining about Asian American issues and being a minority to just telling great stories. That’s exciting to me.”-Daniel Wu, Actor
“Mostly, SFIAAFF is a festival of the people-no small feat for a festival which has grown to such stature. Everyone has a different experience at SFIAAFF depending on what films people see, what restaurant they eat at afterward, which bus line they choose. SFIAAFF is as diverse, alive, and unpredictable as the city itself.” -Brian Hu, Asia Pacific Arts
