Since 2004, the CUNY Asian
American Film Festival (AAFF)
has recognized and awarded
over $4,700 in cash prizes
to student filmmakers
enrolled at the City
University of New York,
including City College,
Brooklyn College, Hunter
College, and the College of
Staten Island. The CUNY AAFF
helps 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 and
interest.
AAARI encourages all
currently enrolled CUNY
undergraduate and graduate
students, Asian and
non-Asian, to participate in
this great opportunity.
Winner and runner-up prizes
will be awarded for each of
the following categories:
Fiction
Documentary
Experimental
In addition to cash prizes
this year, winners of the
6th Annual CUNY Asian
American Film Festival will
also have the exciting
opportunity to have their
films screened at the 32nd
Asian
American International Film
Festival, organized by Asian CineVision, taking place in
July 2009.
On the evening of the
Festival, all winners and
runner-ups will remain
anonymous until after a
screening of selected films
that have been reviewed by
our distinguished panel of
judges. Following the
screening will be an award
ceremony and Q&A session
with the winners and
runner-ups.
Guest Speaker: Risa
