2011 CUNY Asian American Film Festival

Date: Friday, May 20, 2011

Time: 6PM to 8PM

Place: CUNY Graduate Center - Martin E. Segal Theatre
365 Fifth Avenue (Corner of 34th Street), Manhattan

Since 2004, the CUNY Asian American Film Festival (AAFF) has recognized and awarded over $6,600 in cash prizes to student filmmakers enrolled at the City University of New York, including City College, Brooklyn College, Hunter College, Lehman College, and the College of Staten Island. The CUNY AAFF helps to promote the artistic visual talents and stimulate communication among CUNY students who are separated by the different campuses spread across the five boroughs, and serve as a central location to display their creative works among colleagues involved in the same field of study and interest.

AAARI encourages all currently enrolled (or recently graduated in Fall 2009) CUNY undergraduate and graduate students, Asian and non-Asian, to participate in this great opportunity. Winner ($200) and runner-up ($100) prizes will be awarded for each of the following categories:

Fiction | Documentary | Experimental

On the evening of the Festival, all winners and runner-ups will remain anonymous until after a screening of selected films that have been reviewed by our distinguished panel of judges. Following the screening will be an award ceremony and Q&A session with the winners and runner-ups.

Guest Speaker: TBA

Winners* of the 8th Annual CUNY Asian American Film Festival will also have the exciting opportunity to have their films screened at the 34th Asian American International Film Festival, organized by Asian CineVision, taking place in August 2011.

* Winners may or may not include Honorable Mention recipients, depending on time limit imposed by Asian CineVision's Film Festival schedule.
