Films out of Asia that make you laugh, cry, and cheer, featuring international icons, films within films, and new leases on life.

The heart of our festival—and the best of Asian American cinema in all of its colors—from stories of activism, love, and legacy, to tales of woe and humor.

Fresh out of the archives, these newly restored classics rewrite the lineage of Asian cinema with vivid and timeless poignancy.

Fresh from Berlin, Cannes, and other prestigious international film festivals, these are premiere works by the world’s best directors.

The feature presentations at this year's San Diego Asian Film Festival showcase the deep reserves of care, ingenuity, and grit that have defined our community for generations.

From Asia’s most innovative and uncategorizable filmmakers come new stories and new ways of telling them.
