What We Do
Austin Asian American Film Festival (AAAFF) began as a showcase-specific event that has now broadened to a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We champion Asian and Asian American stories through film and creative media.
From our flagship annual festival that highlights new Asian and Asian American films to our year-round community screening events, the organization has grown from one run by volunteers in the film and local Asian American community to one of the premiere Asian American arts nonprofits in town.
Our mission of championing Asian and Asian American stories via media arts and empowering Asian Americans to explore opportunities in cinema continues as we expand to include more collaborations with our peer film festival organizations in North America, educational programs, an AANHPI filmmaker database, and film industry resources for creatives.
AAAFF programs speak to and enhance understanding of the AANHPI experience through film.
New Logo
Long-time festival goers will notice we have refreshed our look. Our new logo exemplifies our vision of uplifting Asian and Asian American cinema while recognizing the complex intersections between navigating these identities, which are represented in the three overlapping 16:9 screens.
