About Us

The Seattle Asian American Film Festival (SAAFF) is the only film festival in Seattle dedicated to showcasing pan-Asian American voices, perspectives, and histories through multimedia arts. Our volunteer-run organization empowers and uplifts Asian American creatives, fostering community connections through our annual festival and year-round events. We aim to broaden the understanding of our community’s stories by elevating independent films that reflect the diversity and richness of Asian Americana and Asian diasporas.
