NYAFF XXV: Submissions Are Now Open For The 25th Edition!

I don’t normally signal these kinds of announcements, but I love the New York Asian Film Festival and I’m keen on drawing attention to it, particularly for any filmmakers in my circle. Thus, submissions are now underway for next year’s events which will run from July 10 through 26.

I’ve been fortunate to cover seven (7) editions of the New York Asian Film Festival, and the films continue to be an amazing journey for me in the course of my mission. To this, I would love to check in for what will hopefully be my eighth year with NYAFF on my radar, as the festival readies its 25th edition.

As for the rest of you filmmakers out there – and I know you’re out there – if you got something, be sure to shoot it over to the festival’s Film Freeway page. The early bird deadline is December 19, 2025, with a regular deadline in the new year set for February 13, followed by a late deadline on April 10.
