OCA Greater Houston started the festival as ‘edu-tainment’ to reach out to the community, to educate on issues, tell the stories of Houston's communities, and to support Asian Pacific Islander artists and filmmakers.
As each of us work to better our communities, it is important that we appreciate the diversity of the Asian Pacific Islander American community and the commonalities we share. The emotional and visual impact of film as an expression of the creativity of individuals, is the perfect medium to show the diversity and richness of the APIA experience.
Please note in order to reach out to a wide audience, all the film screenings are free and open to the public. We hope you enjoy this year’s selections of films with us.
