Tickets: brownpapertickets.com | Full Program: seattleaaff.org
The Seattle Asian American Film Festival will showcase works by northwest Asian American filmmakers, as well as films from across the country dealing with Asian American people, issues, and themes. All screenings will take place at the Tateuchi Story Theatre at the Wing Luke Museum.
Opening night features one feature film, three shorts, and an opening night party! Opening night shorts include CINEMETROPOLIS by Martin Tran & Daniel Strothman. Inspired by the music of the Blue Scholars. Even after the popcorn is finished and the lights come back on, do we ever really leave the cinema? A finalist in the Blue Scholars Short Film Competition, CINEMETROPOLIS is a love letter to the movies, hip hop, Seattle, and our childhood imagination.
Opening night feature film is”A Lot Like You” by Eliaichi Kimaro. The film won Best Documentary at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and Top 10 Audience Choice Award at SIFF. The film will be followed by a discussion panel with Kimaro, LeiLani Nishime (Assistant Professor of Communication, University of Washington) and Wes Kim (Director of the Northwest Asian American Film Festival 2003–2007). Watch Trailer
Opening Night Party: 9:30 PM – 11:30 PM: Opening night party at Wing Luke reception room immediately after the screening and panel discussion of A LOT LIKE YOU. Food and beverages catered by Thai Curry Simple and Georgetown Brewing Company.

I would love to go. I love seeing new films.
I can never really afford it, but I love films. I’d love to see some indie films about the Philippines where my parents are from, and think it’s so cool that there is an actual Asian American Film Festival in Seattle!
I love multicultural events
When I was in Philly I spent time supporting the Philadelphia Asian American Film Fest at the Asian Arts Initiative. I can’t wait to see what we have in store, Seattle!
I want to see more asian americans represented in film and film production
Excited to celebrate the stories and works of talented Asian and Pacific Islanders in our community
I already have a pass for Seattle International Film Festival and that runs over 3 weeks. I should be able to handle 3 days like it is nothing.
I love Asia, I love indie movies!!!!!
Yeaa!! Movies!
seattle is such a great city for us cinephiles…more film fests than anywhere else i can think of! scandinavian film fest? check! jewish film fest? check! asian american film fest? check! lesbian & gay film fest? check! SIFF! STIFF! reel grrls! and more….
Ever since watching Wayne Wang’s “Chan is Missing,” I have greatly enjoyed Asian-American cinema. We would love to enjoy this festival.
So…living in Portland…and would totally make the drive to Seattle for this event. My boyfriend is a film buff and I am interested in broadening my life experiences.
Asian Americans films give a snapshot of our diversity through the multicultural lens behind the cameras!
I never have the chance to see Seattle, and I have always been interested in Asian Culture! Going to this festival would be such a treat!
Living in Hawaii, many of us were born and culturally raised American. In school and on the street most of the faces were asian. In Movies and TV, however, most of the faces were not. There was a disconnect in what was seen in media and in life in the culture we identified with. The diversity of films in the Asian American film festivals celebrate the differences and similarities in many different cultures and bridges this gap through intriguing stories and interesting situations.
I love Asians. I married one. He’s like the hippest Asian on Cap hill with his fat chops. I call him my little Wolverasian.
I would really like to attend because I love cinema and am involved in the arts. Furthermore, being a citizen of the world feel it important to connect with each other and understand each other’s perspectives.
I’m always interested in getting out and doing something new!
How is it possible that I’ve lived in Seattle so long and still have never been to the Wing Luke? This sounds like a fantastic opportunity to see great film.
Congratulations Jill Mangaliman! You have been chosen as the winner and emailed!
