We’re continuing our hybrid festival model in 2025! Watch films remotely from the comfort of your own home, or join us at Northwest Film Forum for our in-person screenings where you can attend Q&As after the films, meet filmmakers, and say hello to the SAAFF team!

SAAFF is the only film festival to provide a space for pan-Asian American voices, perspectives, and histories told through multimedia arts in Seattle. Our volunteer-run organization empowers and uplifts Asian American creatives and builds community connections through our annual festival and other year-round events. We aim to be a platform that broadens the understanding of our community’s stories through elevating independent films that reflect the diversity and richness of Asian Americana and Asian diasporas.
