We appreciate you
Be a part of our growth journey!
The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival is expanding, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey! As we transition to become the Philadelphia Asian American Film Foundation, PAAFF is 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.
Be a part of a purpose driven community with a mission for authentic storytelling. We exist to serve the AANHPI creative community by providing a platform to showcase their crafts and stories.
With your financial support, we will be well poised to develop thoughtful and engaging programs throughout the year, including a Spring Showcase, Master Classes, Exclusive Screenings, Live Performances, Culinary Experiences, along with collaborations with diverse community partners.
As a non-profit organization made up of a small but passionate team of staff and generous volunteers, we believe in sharing the stories, experiences, and voices of Asian American Pacific Islanders and other Asian diasporic communities with a broader audience. Your support for PAAFF will fuel us to work even harder to create programs that reflect our extraordinary and multi-faceted community.
