Since 2004, the CUNY Asian American Film Festival (AAFF) has recognized and awarded over $15,400 in cash prizes to student filmmakers enrolled at the City University of New York. The CUNY AAFF helps to promote the artistic visual talents of CUNY students and serve as a central location to display their creative works.
Films in this year’s CUNY Shorts Showcase, part of the 48th Asian American International Film Festival deal with topics/genres including: how healthcare workers navigate life and death, the intimate experiences of living in New York City basements, a Thai immigrant’s journey through grief and artistic renewal, a Chinese-Canadian filmmaker’s reflections on identity and belonging, the intriguing idea of subconsciously inviting bad luck, and the demanding yet transformative lives of student-parents.
Tickets are donation-based!
