Asian Film Festival of Dallas
Momiji were very proud sponsors of the Asian Film Festival of Dallas 2009.
The AFFD is a nonprofit organization; their mission is to celebrate emerging and established Asian and Asian-American filmmakers. The festival is an opportunity to share the rich diversity of Asian culture through the medium of cinema.
Since its creation in 2002, the annual film festival has grown to become the South’s largest showcase of Asian and Asian American cinema.
Over the last seven years, the festival has provided opportunities for nearly 300 Asian and Asian American filmmakers and documentarians to share their vision, often providing the only venue for their films to be shown in Dallas. The films have also allowed festival goers a chance to experience other lives and cultures without leaving their seats.
The festival ran from 17th – 23rd July 2009 at Landmark’s Magnolia Theatre this year and will be back with even more magic in 2010. Here are a few shots of what went on.
