The Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival, also known as HAAPIFEST, was founded in 2004 by OCA-Greater Houston to highlight and celebrate the diversity of AAPI culture through "edutainment". This multi-day event serves as Houston's leading film festival dedicated to showcasing Asian American and Pacific Islander stories, supporting AAPI artists and filmmakers, and sharing their experiences with the greater Houston metropolitan area. HAAPIFEST features a diverse lineup of narrative films, documentaries, shorts, panels, and special events.
