Perspectives 360 Film Festival Submission Date

 May is Asian American Heritage Month. While we recognized and honor the many contributions of Americans of Asian descent, we remain vigilant in continuing to protect the civil and human rights of all our community members. These past years have been especially challenging as hate crimes against Asian/Asian Americans escalated leading IAAA to launch an educational campaign, Virus Has No Nationality.   In keeping with the theme of ‘Virus Has No Nationality’, we invite you to share your story, through your lenses of how you interpret and express the theme’s meaning. We encourage you to be bold and brave in challenging issues of racism, sexism, xenophobia, ableism, heterosexism, classism, and all -isms. Through a five-minute film,  we hope your creative expressions will inspire hopes and  possibilities for a better tomorrow.    

The film festival is open to everyone regardless of age, experiences, and status. All you need is a video recording capability such as your phone and can be completed as an individual or as a group. Films must be submitted through FilmFreeway by Monday, May 31, 2021 to be screened on Friday, June 11, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. An award presentation will follow.
