Hey AAAFF Community,

Use code: RABBIT2023 for $10 off your submission fee until February 12.
Here’s what some of our fest alums have to say about being selected for AAAFF:
I first heard of AAAFF through a volunteer many years back. The idea of a non-profit in Austin focused on championing Asian + Asian American voices seemed so wonderful! If I ever had the opportunity again to make a film I wanted to submit to AAAFF. Texas has always had a special place in my heart as I have many family members still living there but more importantly it would be so incredible to be a part of a film festival that aims to empower diverse storytellers. - Van Ditthavong, Elvis of Laos
I felt the film aligns with the history and body of work that the festival represents and I thought it would be a great chance for this film to be a part of this year's program.
- Yuka Murakami, Sincerely Miné Okubo
