Tasveer

Did you know less than 1% of South Asians are seen on Hollywood screens? Let's change that narrative together.

Help us reach our goal of $5000 to help South Asian Filmmakers access the resources they need to excel!

For over 23 years, Tasveer has been a driving force for social change, using South Asian films, art, and storytelling to challenge misrepresentation and inspire truth-telling. What started as a small film screening in 2002 has grown into the only Oscar®-qualifying South Asian film festival in the world!

Now, we’re embarking on our most exciting chapter yet— we have a new permanent home at our newly acquired Tasveer Film Center! After decades hosting our festival across Seattle, we're realizing our long-held dream, deepening Tasveer's impact as a cultural anchor for the South Asian community, and extending its impact as a multicultural arts space in Seattle.  

🎬 During this exciting year of opportunity and transformation, your gift will help us:

✅ Keep tickets accessible for daily film screenings at the new Tasveer Film Center 

✅ Host 21st edition of Tasveer Film Festival where we will showcase 100+ films

✅ Launch Third edition of Tasveer Film Market which will create productive industry connections

✅ Facilitate 6th year of Tasveer Film Fund where we grant $185,000 to 5 filmmakers

Thank you for being part of our Tasveer community. 

With your support, we'll celebrate diversity and empower storytellers from all backgrounds.
