Welcome

We're excited to be celebrating our 24th year here at the Pacific Rim Film Festival and look forward to sharing with you the pick of the contenders for the 2012 season. For six days, from October 19-24, we bring you work from filmmakers spanning the Pacific rim. 

True to our theme of 'When Strangers Meet', we offer films with a mission to foster cross-cultural understanding and strive to share our films with the broadest audience possible. To this end we offer our films free of charge to our patrons for the entire festival with the exception of the finale benefit event.

We are funded completely by the support of our community and are especially indebted to Ow Family Properties, whose gracious beneficence has allowed us to carry on our mission each year. We welcome and appreciate your support in any way that you feel inspired and able. Check out our 'We Want You' page for suggestions.

Currently we're hard at work seeking out the best in film from the Pacific rim. Stay tuned to the website and Facebook page for this year's schedule, film synopsis, trailers and more.
