Event

San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival

Now in its 28th year, the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAFF) showcases a dynamic and forward-looking selection of the best in new Asian and Asian American cinema from around the globe.

Ranging from locally produced documentaries to Asian blockbusters that have been lauded on the international film festival circuit, the Festival’s program is the largest showcase of its kind in the world.

This year's festival features a special focus on Filipino and Filipino American cinema and media. SFIAAFF will also present the world premiere of Deann Borshay Liem's new feature documentary In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee, in which a case of mistaken identity serves as a springboard for exploring the complex questions involving international trans-racial adoptions. Festival favorite Quentin Lee returns with his sex comedy The People I’ve Slept With, in which the promiscuous Angela (Karina Anna Cheung) gets pregnant and needs to find the father post haste.
