The 15th Austin Asian American Film Festival - June 21-25 at the AFS Cinema

The Austin Asian American Film Festival (AAAFF) returns for its 15th iteration, taking place June 21-25, 2023 at the AFS Cinema (6406 N I-35 Suite 3100 Austin, TX 78752). AAAFF, one of the preeminent AANHPI arts organizations in town, champions Asian and Asian American stories via media arts and empowers Asian Americans to explore opportunities in cinema. On June 21, the festival will feature “Starring Jerry as Himself (2023)” as its Opening Night Film, with an afterparty at St. John Studios. And on June 22, AAAFF will celebrate Texas Two-Step Thursday, a special lineup of a feature film and a shorts block all by Texas AANHPI filmmakers, with a dually Texas-focused afterparty. All Access and Student badges are currently on sale for the festival here.

Additionally, on June 17, Hold Out Brewing will be premiering a Thai Mango IPA beer called Double Happiness, with proceeds going to AAAFF (the beer will also be sold during the festivals opening night).

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department, Texas Commission of the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
