Join the Team

Help make this year’s San Diego Asian Film Festival season a success! In addition to meeting people who share an interest in independent voices and stories by and about Asian and Pacific Islander communities around the world, volunteering with Pacific Arts Movement is an excellent way to serve San Diego’s arts and culture community and to fulfill volunteerism hours.

We’re currently recruiting volunteers for the 14th SDAFF Spring Showcase. Sign up on your own or reach out to coordinate a volunteer group. We’d love to have you!
