Pacific Arts Movement is a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California, focused on advancing marginalized perspectives through Pan Asian media arts. It originated in 2000 as the San Diego Asian Film Festival and has since grown into one of the country's largest media arts groups centered on Asia and its diaspora. The organization seeks to inspire empathy and broaden audiences by presenting culturally enriching programs, fostering public discourse, and promoting independent artistic voices. It executes two principal film showcases annually—the San Diego Asian Film Festival in the fall and a Spring Showcase—along with Reel Voices, a youth documentary training program. It situates itself at the crossroads of art, social justice, and community engagement, contributing to San Diego's development as an arts destination.
