For those coming to New York City to attend the Tribeca Film Festival from June 7 through 18, 2023, the Asian Pacific Filmmakers Experience team wants to let you all know who we’re celebrating, centering, and spotlighting. While the pickin's are considerably slimmer than earlier this year at Sundance '23 and SXSW '23, this year’s Tribeca showcases a completely new generation of Asian American and Pacific Islander filmmakers and cinema artists with new works that offer much excitement as this year continues into the summer months. Be sure to catch these filmmakers’ films and new media productions. As always, we think this group is very special. And we know you’ll agree with us, too!
