Times are difficult, and we can't be together. While we are apart, BAAFF brings us together virtually to share, reflect, and reconnect. This year while completely virtual, featured a wide range of over 50 films and filmmaker Q&As highlighting diverse Asian American stories and community experiences! Thank you all who have contributed to making our 2020 film festival a great success!

Our interest resides in the passion to bring Asian American films to the public and to educate them on the experiences that Asian Americans face in society. There are many issues in our society that are not being recognized such as gentrification and discrimination; and we are here to help raise awareness to these concerns.  Click to read more.
