The Asian American International Film Festival(AAIFF) is an annual New York-based festival dedicated to showcasing independent films from Asian, Asian diaspora, and Pacific Islander creators. Committed to using film and media as a catalyst for social change, AAIFF champions diversity and inclusion in the media arts.
