In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, we are delighted to present the 3rd annual Kinema AAPI Storytellers Fest, a virtual film festival dedicated to showcasing movies made by talented filmmakers of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. This special film series aims to promote Asian and AAPI representation in media and highlight the diverse range of their stories.

The AAPI Storytellers Fest will feature a selection of films, available to watch throughout the month of May. Every ticket and watch supports AAPI stories and the creators behind them.

While your screening is free, we encourage you to donate to and support organizations 

Join us for this wonderful celebration of AAPI talent and culture, as you immerse yourself in these captivating films and gain a deeper appreciation for the voices and perspectives of the AAPI community.
