The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, set for April 30 through May 7, 2009, is an annual production of Visual Communications, the nation’s premier Asian Pacific American media arts center. The National Museum and the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy are honored to support their efforts by hosting programs that explores the diversity of the Asian American experience.

The Film Festival's NCPD slate includes a highly-anticipated afternoon program of innovative video works by seniors from Little Tokyo's DISKovery Center; and a special evening retrospective screening of favorites from Visual Communications' groundbreaking Armed With a Camera Fellowship, complete with artists from the past seven cycles in attendance. A complete program schedule, including the detailed program line-up of Festival programs at the NCPD will be available starting early April.
