Asian World Film Festival 2017




Asian World Film Festival will be held this year from October 30th through November 7th. AWFF's goal is to bring Asian World cinema to Los Angeles. 

By recognizing diversity, AWFF already casts something special that is bound to affect the diversity struggle in Hollywood. 

AWFFs Jury includes, Heather Rae (Jury President), Iram Parveen Bilal, DCAT, Uli Edel, Hakeem Kae-Kizam, Amin Matalqa, David Seidler, Maria Shantanova, Carlo Siliotto, and Ying Ye. 


"The Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) brings the best of a broad selection of Asian World cinema to Los Angeles in order to draw greater recognition to the region's wealth of filmmakers, strengthening ties between the Asian and Hollywood film industries.

Uniting through cross-cultural collaboration, our festival champions films from 50 countries across Asia spanning from Turkey to Japan and Russia to India.

All films that participate in the Festival will have a unique chance to be guided through the challenging awards season, showcasing their foreign films to the Academy, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and all Guilds for enhanced exposure, media attention and awards consideration.*

The Asian World Film Festival is organized under Aitysh USA, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization, and operates according to the organization's guidelines."


Last year's selections included many films that wouldn't have ever been seen in Los Angeles if it was not for Asian World Film Festival.

Old Town Waffles

(photo by Carole Grosch )            Old Town Waffle is located in Clovis, California. Last year I came to Old Town Waffle with my grandmother and my mother. I got the fresh garden omelet which was very delicious—I now get it every time I go. Every time I have gone it has been delicious and the employees are very helpful. My grandma and mother love going as much as I do.             It's a special place that is in the pit of Old Town Clovis. It's always nice to have a place that is only available in your hometown. If you're ever hungry and do not know where to go, go to Old Town Waffle!
