New York Asian Film Festival 2026

Monday, July 13 - Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Twenty-five years ago, the New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) started by screening the most exciting new films from Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. Now celebrating its 25th year, NYAFF returns with a landmark anniversary edition celebrating two and a half decades of championing the filmmakers, stars, and cinematic movements that have shaped the future of Asian cinema. Running from July 10 to July 26 across five New York venues, including Film at Lincoln Center, SVA Theatre, IFC Center (NYAFF’s home in the mid-to-late aughts), Anthology Film Archives (where the festival began), and the Korean Cultural Center New York, NYAFF 2026 marks a major milestone for North America’s leading festival of Asian cinema.
