A Roundup of the 2026 @NYAFF

The New York Asian Film Festival manages every year to offer an impressive program that combines major premieres, contemporary genre cinema, independent productions, restorations and appearances by some of the most important names in Asian cinema, which, additionally, are not only the usual suspects we usually get outside of Asia.

Through this consistently ambitious approach, NYAFF has established itself as the most significant Asian film festival in the West, bringing together productions from established cinematic territories and countries that remain underrepresented internationally.
