As we reflect on the year 2020, Pac Arts’ presence as a community organization dedicated to providing a pivotal space in San Diego where Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander voices and stories are amplified is more important now than ever before.
We rely on the generosity of individual donors like you to continue our work.
You can make a general donation to support our year-round operations, or direct your donation to a specific program or even a particular film. No donation is too small, and all contributions are tax-deductible (Tax ID: 33-1001523).
OUR IMPACT
SDAFF 2020 launched virtually this year to include over 50 exclusive Q&As to zombie outbreaks at the first-ever SDAFF Drive-In! This year’s festival was truly unforgettable.
REEL VOICES Class of 2020 made its virtual debut this year. This year’s program featured nine student filmmakers telling their stories and exploring the teen perspective during a time of pandemic.
