The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is now officially an Oscar-qualifying festival.



Hey filmmakers! Share your film with one of best fests around. This is your last-minute reminder that the final deadline is quickly approaching to submit your film to the 2017 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

Presented by Visual Communications, LAAPFF is the leading showcase for new Asian Pacific American and Asian international cinema, providing a crucial launching point for the discovery and sustained support of Asian Pacific independent filmmakers and media artists from around the globe.

All films -- feature-length, shorts, narrative, documentary, animation, experimental -- need to be submitted and received through Withoutabox or Filmfreeway by Monday, January 2 at 5:00 PM PST.




By the way, it was recently announced that LAAPFF is now approved by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences as an Academy Award-qualifying festival for short film awards. That means that the annual recipient of LAAPFF's Golden Reel Award will be eligible for consideration for an Oscar in the Animated and Live-Action Short Film categories, subject to compliance with the Academy's guidelines.
