Before you share your film, please read our renewal efforts for the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival here.
ATTENTION FILMMAKERS!
(A) Have you made a feature film, short film, or emerging media (VR, AR, etc) project? Are you anxious to share your work with an enthusiastic audience hungry for stories made by and/or about Asian Pacific Islander individuals and communities around the world?
(B) Are you a filmmaker who'd like to have a chance for your Narrative/Animated Short Film to win the Film Festival’s GOLDEN REEL AWARD, which would be eligible for consideration in the Animated Short Film/Live Action Short Film category of the ACADEMY AWARDS®?
If you are any of the above, SUBMIT your film or mediawork to the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, Southern California’s leading showcase for new Asian Pacific American and Asian international cinema. Since 1983, the Film Festival has provided a crucial launching point for the discovery and sustained support of Asian Pacific independent filmmakers and media artists from around the globe.
