Congratulations on the success of the inaugural Asian International Film Festival Arizona

AIFFA’s festival of Asian Films in a metropolitan city like Tempe and fast-growing state like Arizona will enhanced multicultural understanding, provide an impetus for diversity in economic opportunities, and add cultural vibrancy of the city and state. AIFFA’s festival and vision will be realized by Asian Americans in Arizona, and Asians across the globe.

Tempe is proud to host this exciting and fun event, while celebrating our community’s diversity and engaging in a spirited and colorful film competition with entrees from different locations in Asia, On behalf of the City of Tempe, we thank the Asian International Film Festival Arizona and its supporters for making Tempe your home.

Film festivals, such as AIFFA, can play an important role in sustaining a community as a desirable destination. AIFFA provides the chance to experience films across Asia and it is a unique opportunity to learn about cultures. Tempe is proud of the diverse population living within and around our city and we are thrilled that the Asian community will be celebrated in Tempe. Congratulations to all those involved in AIFFA.
