PAAFF is now a FOUNDATION!
Philadelphia Asian American Film Foundation
Same acronym, same mission, broader vision
We are more than a film festival. We are a year-round platform, a safe space, and a cultural home for AANHPI stories that deserve to be told and heard. Through film, art, and community, we uplift voices that reflect the richness, complexity, and resilience of our cultures—on screen and beyond.
Why a New Name?
- To reflect a broader vision for the organization and acknowledge our necessary expansion beyond the annual festival.
- To formally define our identity as we continue to evolve and establish a clear, intentional direction for the future.
- To expand and foster more meaningful collaborations with community and national partners.
- To establish long-term sustainability and create a pipeline for the next generation of AANHPI creatives through advocacy, resources, and community-building initiatives.
What’s Next?
We will share more about our plans and long term visions in the coming months. Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social to get the latest updates. PAAFF received a creative grant from OMFGCO, a Portland-based brand agency, who will help us realize this new vision. We look forward to unveiling our new design and branding this fall!
