Welcome to the Pride Asian Film Festival (PAFF), a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating Asian cinema. We believe film has the power to amplify underrepresented voices and share the stories of marginalized communities, including women, racial minorities, individuals with accessibility needs, and the LGBTQ2S+ community. Our mission is to bring outstanding Asian films to Toronto’s vibrant cultural scene while fostering unity and pride within the Asian community.

​

Through our annual and year-round programming, we aim to showcase diverse stories that reflect the richness of Asian identities and experiences. We champion women filmmakers and creators, acknowledging their vital role in shaping Asian cinema. The festival is committed to gender inclusivity and provides a platform for exploring a wide range of identities and experiences, including those within the LGBTQ2S+ community. We also prioritize accessibility, ensuring everyone can engage with our films and events.

​

Since 2023, we have been actively engaged in our pre-festival activities, laying the groundwork for the inaugural edition of PAFF, scheduled to take place in Toronto in May 2025. We invite you to stay updated with us as we embark on this exciting cinematic journey. Your participation and enthusiasm are key to the success of this remarkable cultural event. Stay tuned for more updates!
