CALL FOR ENTRIES: Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (Oct 24-30)

The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) is proud to
announce its inaugural launch this October 24 – 30, 2008 at The Bridge: Cinema de Lux.

As the first Asian American Film Festival in Philadelphia history, PAAFF is a unique entity.
The Philadelphia metropolitan area is home to one of the largest Asian American populations
in the country (204,491), but lacks in the diversity of events that cater to Asian Americans.
PAAFF will be a venue for the voices of Asian Americans through a wide spectrum of films
and programs open to all, Asian and non-Asian, and will be primarily in the English language.

PAAFF will take place in some of the premier venues in Philadelphia and will feature many of
the top movies directed, produced and starring Asian Americans.

In its inaugural year, PAAFF’s theme is “Indiependence”; tying in elements of Philadelphia’s
great history, along with the significance of Asian Americans breaking through in film.

PAAFF films will explore the Asian American identity and experience.
This is a celebration of films that are distinctively independent, mainstream, introspective,
hilarious, action packed, spine tingling, romantic and defying categorization and expectations.
