The 48th edition of the Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF), presented by Asian CineVision (ACV), will run from July 31 to August 10, 2025, with screenings, panels, and community events held across New York City and online.

AAIFF is the nation’s first and longest-running film festival dedicated to works by and about Asians and Asian Americans. Since 1978, the festival has been a platform for diaspora storytelling, identity exploration, and bold artistic experimentation, building a legacy that continues to thrive across generations.

For its 48th edition, AAIFF will honor the beauty of repair and transformation — examine how personal and collective fractures can be reassembled into something stronger and more radiant than before. Drawing inspiration from Kintsugi — the Japanese art of mending broken ceramics with gold, this year’s theme asks how storytelling, dreaming, and creation can guide the community through rupture into renewal. It’s a celebration of resilience, imagination, and the radical act of envisioning a future shaped by the truths of the past.

This year marks a major milestone — the 50th anniversary of Asian CineVision, the nonprofit behind AAIFF. To commemorate this legacy, AAIFF48 will showcase special presentations including ACV 50 Retrospective Screening – Fruit Fly and Captain America: Albert Pyun Cut. Additional tributes, filmmaker panels, and community events will be announced in the coming weeks.

“On the 50th anniversary of our organization, AAIFF is harkening back to our underground origins by highlighting scrappy young AAPI filmmakers from New York and beyond. We are also showcasing a legacy of unsung and "sung" indies in our special presentations of Albert Pyun's recently unthawed Captain America director's cut and festival alum H.P. Mendoza's 2009 musical Fruit Fly. We hope to continue being NYC's number one festival for nurturing and celebrating the next generation of Asian American and Pacific Islander filmmakers” – Kris Montello, AAIFF Programming Director
