PAAFF is the showcase event of Philadelphia Asian American Film and Filmmakers, a non-profit organization founded in 2008 dedicated to supporting and highlighting the experiences of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders through creative community-focused programs. PAAFF is currently the third-largest film festival of its kind in the United States. In addition to our film programs, our volunteer-run organization also presents supporting programming such as live performances, chef demonstrations, lectures, and educational workshops during the festival and throughout the year.
