The Asian World Film Festival celebrates global outreach, inclusion and diversity in a profound, innovative, and authentic way. The Festival unites our communities across the planet, bringing the Asian world to Culver City, and Culver City to the world.
Culver City is pleased to welcome the 12th Annual Asian World Film Festival to our community. Over the past years, the City of Culver City has been honored to host the AWFF and support its mission of bringing Asian cinema to the greater Los Angeles area. In that short time, the Festival has become a beloved cultural event that showcases films from over 50 countries across Asia, spanning from Turkey to Japan, and from Russia to India.
The Festival’s cross-cultural collaboration creates an opportunity for our community to experience films from over 50 countries across Asia. To date, the Festival has screened over 100 Oscar and 50 Golden Globe submissions.
Culver City salutes the Festival’s pursuit to showcase Asian filmmakers through innovation and cross-cultural collaboration. We look forward to an exceptional 2026 festival and continued success of the Asian World Festival for many years to come
The festival runs November 12–19, with screenings and special events at The Culver Theater.
Tickets and festival badges are on sale now at the AWFF website. The City of Culver City is a sponsor of the event.
