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 21th 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

✨ Join us in shaping a more inclusive, just, and artistically vibrant world. Register today and be part of the movement!
