Pacific Arts Movement

Pacific Arts Movement Presenters of the San Diego Asian Film Festival and other year-round events.

Pacific Arts Movement (Pac Arts), formerly the San Diego Asian Film Foundation, is one of the largest media arts organizations in North America that focuses on Asian American and Asian international cinema. Pac Arts inspires, entertains and supports a more compassionate society through programs and events like the San Diego Asian Film Festival, Chew The Scene and Reel Voices. PACIFIC acknowledges

our proud roots in San Diego and the transnational cultures that intersect as part of the Pacific Rim and beyond. While the focus of our ARTS medium is film, we treasure the many forms of storytelling to express boundless stories. We are part of a MOVEMENT for positive social change by transforming hearts and minds; inspiring innovators; and making visible new stories and traditions.
