The Asian Pacific
Filmmakers Experience

Established in 2002 in Park City, Utah to honor and recognize the cinematic artists whose works premiered at the Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals, the Asian Pacific Filmmakers Experience foregrounds and celebrates the creative products of Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Asian international cinema artists.

In our two decade-long history, we’ve been happy to learn that the opportunities to celebrate our communities’ cinematic storytelling voices cannot be confined to a cold weekend each January in northern Utah. Thus, we celebrate The Asian Pacific Filmmakers Experience in cities where we congregate to celebrate and foreground our artists, whether it be in Austin, TX, Los Angeles, CA, New York City, Toronto, ON, and points between.

We look forward to you following us as we center and celebrate our communities’ artists!
