PAAFF a non-profit organization founded in 2008 dedicated to supporting and highlighting the experiences of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders 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, lectures, and educational workshops during the festival and throughout the year. The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival aims to serve as a platform to showcase and celebrate Asian diasporic 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.
