The Asian Film Festival of Dallas (AFFD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and supporting emerging and established Asian and Asian-American filmmakers and sharing the rich diversity of Asian culture through the medium of cinema.

Since it’s creation in 2002, the annual film festival has grown to become the South’s largest showcase of Asian and Asian American cinema. Over the last six years, the festival has provided opportunities for more than 250 Asian and Asian American filmmakers and documentarians to share their vision, often providing the only venue for their film in Dallas. The films have also allowed festival goers a chance to experience other lives and cultures without leaving their seats.

In addition to film exhibition, AFFD brings its programs to the public through special events such as panel discussions and filmmaker lectures. AFFD is emerging as a regionally-recognized organization, with highly anticipated movie screenings, community activities and annual events.
