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 and a cultural home for AANHPI stories and storytellers. Through film, art, and community engagement, we uplift voices that reflect the richness, complexity, and resilience of our diverse diasporas. Learn more about the foundation here
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!
Be a part of our growth journey!
PAAFF is expanding, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey! Come out to our events, volunteer, refer friends, subscribe to our mailing list, and donate. As a foundation, we are committed to creating a robust, year-round program that showcases and advocates for AANHPI (Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander) creatives and storytellers while building a pipeline for the next generation. We need funding and community support to keep our mission alive!
