We are excited to present the important and robust 2025 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival slate of films. The line up includes themes of resilience, community, identity and family.
The opening night film of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is the Los Angeles Premiere of Moloka’I Bound directed by Alika Tengan.
