Since its debut in 2004, the CUNY Asian American Film Festival has awarded over $ 4,000 in cash prizes to 20 students enrolled at CUNY colleges including City, Brooklyn, Hunter, and Staten Island. The Festival was created to promote the artistic visual talents and stimulate communication among CUNY students who are separated by the different campuses spread across the five boroughs, and serve as a central location to display their creative works among colleagues involved in the same field of study.

With your help, we hope to make our 5th Annual CUNY Asian American Film Festival even bigger and better than previous years. AAARI encourages all CUNY undergraduate and graduate students to participate in this great opportunity, both Asian and non-Asian.

Our guest speaker for the evening will be Professor Ryoya Terao from the Film Department of Brooklyn College, CUNY.

Winner and runner-up prizes will be awarded for each of the following categories:

  • Fiction

  • Documentary

  • Experimental

All winners and runner-ups will remain anonymous until after a screening of selected films that have met certain judging criteria. Following the screening will be an award ceremony and Q&A session with the winners and runner-ups.
