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—Tasveer has acquired the historic Ark Lodge Cinemas in Columbia City as its new permanent home! 

🎬 This year, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tasveer Film Festival & Market (TFFM) in our new home, hence we need your support in getting our home ready. Your contributions will help us:

✅ Bring 20th edition of Tasveer Film Festival  where we will showcase 100+ films

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

✅ 5th year of Tasveer Film Fund where we grant $75,000 to 3 filmmakers

We are the Only Oscars® Qualifying South Asian Film Festival in the World!

Our Mission is to inspire social change through thought-provoking films, art, and storytelling.

📣 Spread the Word: Share our campaign with friends, family, and colleagues who champion diversity in cinema.

Thank you for being part of our Tasveer community. With your support, we'll celebrate diversity and empower storytellers from all backgrounds.
