The Austin Asian American Film Festival is set for June 24-28, 2026, marking its 18th edition in Austin. Badge, schedule, and attendance details will follow the save-the-date announcement.
AAAFF is a longstanding community festival focused on Asian American film and media. Film submissions for this year are closed, which usually means the lineup is settling into place ahead of the June window.
If you are in Texas or planning a summer trip through Austin, this is one of the clearer diaspora film anchors on the calendar: a multi-day fest rather than a single screening, with short film and feature programming typically spread across the run.
The festival site links out to 2026 badges, the film and event schedule, short film schedule, and terms if you are deciding whether to buy passes or plan around specific days.
When: June 24-28, 2026
Where: Austin, Texas
Venues, showtimes, and ticket details will be announced closer to the festival.
