Summer Cinema

Free outdoor films in the heart of Chinatown–International District.
Each summer, SAAFF hosts free film screenings and live programming at Hing Hay Park, creating a welcoming space for community, culture, and storytelling. What began in 2013 has grown into a beloved annual tradition, celebrating Asian American stories through film, music, and shared summer nights.
