Launched in 2002, Subway Cinema‘s New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) is one of America’s leading and most influential showcase for popular Asian cinema. Each year, the Festival selects over 30 feature films, considering only the best, the strangest, and the most entertaining of the recent titles.

The New York Asian Film Festival’s intimate atmosphere allows for a personal and relaxed interaction between the audience and the filmmakers, which is all but lost at larger film events. Festival guests do everything from conducting Q&A’s, to giving away prizes and even putting on puppet shows!
