The first annual Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF) opened in 1978 at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City’s Lower East Side. Since then, AAIFF has screened films from all over the world, representing 20-plus countries.

AAIFF has provided the U.S. premieres of acclaimed film directors including Wayne Wang, Mira Nair, Marilou Diaz-Abaya, and Ang Lee. They’ve hosted films from well-known filmmakers to emerging artists. Even as it has grown in size, AAIFF remains true to its core mission of representing stories and storytellers from the Asian diaspora. Join them, this year, as they bring these powerful stories to the screens in your home in their first online edition of the film festival.

This 2024’s film festival features a captivating array of films that delve into themes of love, relationships, grief, and complex emotions. To unify these narratives, they gravitated towards the concept of memory and communication, symbolized by the postage stamp. In today’s fast-paced digital world, the postage stamp represents a more intimate and cherished form of communication, evoking the sharing of memories in a deeply personal way. This physical medium invites you to slow down, savor moments, and appreciate the relationships around us. By incorporating the postage stamp into their branding, they extend a heartfelt invitation to everyone to join in at AAIFF this August, where they celebrate the profound connections and emotions that define your experiences.
