The Asian American Film Festival is a one-week festival of films involving Asian Americans and Asian American issues, held annually in May. The Film Festival was launched in 2004 to showcase Asian and Asian American media. It aims to break stereotypes and to provide an alternative view of Asians and Asian Americans not generally seen in the American mainstream. Admission is free and open to the public.
Traditionally, Asian American Film Festival only included films but recently, there have been guest speakers and student film contests as well. In 2017, Steven Lim was part of the lineup and gave a talk about his life growing up as an Asian American and about his journey to becoming a YouTube star.
