LOS ANGELES ASIAN PACIFIC FILM FESTIVAL

In our continued work to create spaces for expression, engagement, and empowerment, Visual Communications is proud to present the 41st edition of the VC Film Fest / Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival from May 1 to May 7, 2025. The Festival will feature a robust lineup of in-person programming, along with virtual programming for our audiences at home in Southern California and beyond.

Since 1983, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival has presented over 5,000 films, videos, and digital mediaworks by Asian & Pacific Islander artists, and features seminars, panels, in-person guest appearances, and filmmaker awards. The Film Festival continues to be the largest festival of its kind in Southern California and is the premier showcase for the best and brightest of Asian Pacific cinema.

The VC Film Festival is a proud Academy Award®-qualifying film festival for Short Film Awards. Recipient(s) of the Film Festival’s Golden Reel Award for Narrative/Animated Short Film will be eligible to submit in the Animated Short Film/Live-Action Short Film category of the Academy Awards®.

If you are an artist/filmmaker and our renewal intentions and values resonate with you, we invite you to share your work with us. If you are a funder and partner, we invite you to support our practice and not just the product. We look forward to building a community with you.
