CAAMFest 2025, formerly the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, confronts the surge of anti-Asian hate and political exclusion fueled by the current administration. Shrinking in size but not in impact, the festival features diverse global works over four days, kicking off in Japantown with Tadashi Nakamura's documentary about his father, a pioneer in Asian American media. The festival represents hope and resilience against ongoing political attack on DEI policies and cultural recognition.
CAAMFest 2025 serves as a powerful counterpoint to the rising tide of anti-Asian sentiment and policies aimed at erasing multicultural narratives in America.
The festival is not just a celebration of Asian and Pacific Islander films but also a necessary platform amidst escalating political challenges faced by these communities.
