More about the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival:

“[The] place where aspiring auteurs get made and dreams become reality…the Cannes Film Festival of the Asian American festival circuit.”
-Brian Hu, Asia Pacific Arts

“I can truly say this is one of the finest festivals around. The emphasis on depth, breadth, and beauty in the selection…and the humanity of this crisp city and its swelling consciousness made me wish to return indefinitely.”
-Jacqueline Kim, Filmmaker and Actor

“…I was blown away…[the] line to get in felt more like a concert venue than a multiplex.”
