The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival is proud to continue its annual Verizon Student Delegate Program. Aimed to engage students with Asian and Asian American cinema, the program strives to cultivate the next generation of scholars, artists, administrators and activists invested in the field of Asian American media.

As part of the Verizon Student Delegate Program, participants have the opportunity to:

  • Participate in a structured program of screenings, events and meetings
  • Access other festival events, i.e. panels, talks and parties
  • Create online content for the SFIAAFF website
  • Receive free Verizon mobile phones and products with complimentary data plans and wireless service for the duration of the Student Delegate Program – NEW

The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. We encourage both non-film and film majors to apply. The most important qualities we seek in a candidate are a love for film and desire to share this passion, the ability to interact with other students and festival guests, and a willingness to follow a rigorous program of screenings and discussions.

With only 6 spots available, each student’s full commitment to the program is mandatory. In addition, students will be asked to write an article, blog or create a video during the festival, as well as complete a post-festival survey. Upon completion of the program, participants will get to keep the free Verizon products and present their experience to the organization for feedback.
