PAAFF is a Philadelphia tradition spotlighting films by, for, and about the Asian & Pacific Islander diaspora. Curated and community-driven since 2008, the festival presents features, shorts, and programs that reflect the breadth of AAPI experiences—often with filmmaker conversations, juried awards, and special series across venues.
