The pandemic forced us to try new ways to connect while sheltering in place. Thank you for making this experiment a success!
CAAMFest is BACK to kick off our 37th year!
As ethnic, gender, and power dynamics become redefined throughout American culture and society at large, independent film faces similar challenges in finding its way forward.
The festival highlights Filipino and Filipino American films and filmmakers.
“When I began to make films, I discovered that I saw a world of double exposure – where the presence of here was always imprinted upon the absence of there, where “home” and “back home” often coexisted within the same frame.”
Nailed It screened to a full house at CAAMFest in May, and has been selected as part of the New Orleans Film Festival.
CAAM staff and our funded filmmakers featured at NOFF.
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) recently gave SOMA Pilipinas a $100,000 “Our Town” arts grant that will go toward the Filipino Cultural Heritage District.

An estimated 30,000 patrons celebrated 126 works at 92 public events during CAAMFest36, the first year that CAAMFest has taken place in May.
