Submissions for PAAFF are open on February 5th! More information about submissions dates and eligibility can be found at
filmfreeway.com/PAAFFPAAFF will provide fee waivers or discounts on a case-by-case basis. We understand the financial restrictions of many artists and are willing to accommodate creators who are in need of some financial relief. As a volunteer-run, arts non-profit, we also operate with limited resources and the entry fees sustain our team’s ability to produce the best possible festival to showcase Asian & Pacific Islander stories. We encourage all artists to evaluate their level of need prior to emailing the Festival and to submit as early as possible for the lowest fees.
This waiver request form is for those facing financial hardships and are looking to submit their film to our festival. Our team will use the answers on this form to determine your eligibility for a fee waiver.
If approved, our team will reach out through e-mail. Thank you for your cooperation.
Requesting a fee waiver or submitting to PAAFF using a fee waiver will NOT put you or your film at a disadvantage during the screening process.
