The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) is the showcase event of the Philadelphia Asian American Film & Filmmakers and is dedicated to supporting and highlighting the experiences of Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora through creative community-focused programs. PAAFF is currently the third-largest film festival of its kind in the United States. In addition to our film programs, our volunteer-run organization also presents supporting programming such as live performances, chef demonstrations, panels and lectures, and educational workshops during the festival and throughout the year.

Our Mission: The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival aims to serve as a platform to showcase and celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora storytellers and their works. In order to build a more inclusive and informed community, we collaborate with other like-minded organizations that support this mission.

Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) started in 2008 and takes place in Philadelphia, PA
