The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) is an annual film festival showcasing feature and short films by and about Asian Americans, held in Philadelphia each November. Established in 2008, PAAFF is run by the nonprofit Philadelphia Asian American Film Foundation (formerly Philadelphia Asian American Film and Filmmakers) and has grown to become the third-largest film festival of its kind in the United States. Beyond film screenings, the festival also offers a range of community-focused programs, including live performances, culinary demonstrations, panels, and educational workshops.
