CAAMFest

CAAMFest 2025 is taking place May 8-11 at venues around San Francisco! We're especially excited to announce that the festival will be returning to the AMC Kabuki theater in San Francisco's historic Japantown for our Opening Night screening, followed by our annual Gala at the Asian Art Museum. Bringing CAAMFest back to Japantown is especially empowering this year; among the themes of the slate of programs are reflections on the experiences of American citizens of Japanese descent, which feel particularly poignant right now. Stories of strength from the past and present are important touchstones as we continue to move forward.

Ever since CAAM's first gathering of filmmakers more than 40 years ago, we remain committed to the power of moving images to reflect a breadth of experiences and provide a window into the lives of others. Our team is working to curate a selection of films and programs that will bring people together and inspire the next generation of storytellers.
