Celebrate the filmmakers, stories, and community that make SDAFF possible at the 27th Annual SDAFF Awards.

This year, two beloved SDAFF traditions come together for one big night. What you may remember as the SDAFF Awards Gala and Chew the Scene are joining forces for a reimagined celebration at UC San Diego Park & Market.

We’ll begin by recognizing this year’s award-winning films and filmmakers, then keep the celebration going with food, drinks, and bites from some of San Diego’s favorite restaurants and chefs.

Come celebrate another year of Asian and Asian American cinema alongside filmmakers, artists, supporters, and the SDAFF community.
