Houston AAPI Film Fest

Started in 2004 by OCA-Greater Houston, the Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival, or HAAPIFEST, was created to highlight and celebrate the diversity of AAPI culture, food, and family, to support AAPI artists and filmmakers, and to share the untold AAPI experience for the Greater Houston metropolitan area through edutainment.

Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival will run May 30 through June 15. For over 20 years, it has been showcasing AAPI narratives and filmmakers in Houston, ranging from Sundance hits to local homegrown stories. This year's festival takes place at the DoubleTree Westchase (10609 Westpark Drive, Houston, TX 77042).
