Since 1982, the SFIAAFF has been a launching point for Asian American independent filmmakers as well as a source for new Asian cinema.
The 27th annual festival will be held March 12 to 22 in San Francisco, Berkeley, and San Jose. The opening night film on March 12 will be My Dear Enemy (Korea, 2008), and the "centerpiece" film will be Fruit Fly (US, 2009), a new gay musical film.
