“Asian CineVision (ACV) nonprofit media arts organization devoted
to the development, exhibition, promotion, and preservation of Asian and Asian
American film and video. Since 1978, ACV has presented the Asian American
International Film Festival (AAIFF), the first and longest running festival in
the U.S. to showcase for the best in independent Asian and Asian American
cinema. Perhaps it is the best trip of my life! The artistic vibe, the freedom
of expression, the sights and sounds of New York City – what more could one ask
for?”
