Join us in celebrating NETPAC’s 25th anniversary!

NETPAC/USA (Network for the Promotion of Pacific Island and Asian Cinema/United States of America) exists to promote an understanding and appreciation of Asia and the Pacific Island cultures through their film.

Because of Hawai‘i’s strong connections to the diverse cultures of Asia and the Pacific, the population embraced opportunities to see films from these places, as proven by the growing popularity of the Hawai‘i International Film Festival that started in 1981. For this reason, Hawai‘i became the perfect place to establish NETPAC/USA, encouraging the screening and appreciation of films made by Asians and Pacific Islanders in order to better understand one another.

NETPAC/USA is associated with NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema), a worldwide community with representation in 32 countries, formulated in 1990 as a result of a conference in New Delhi on Asian cinema organized by Cinemaya, the Asian Film Quarterly, with the support of UNESCO, Paris.

NETPAC/USA differs from the international NETPAC organization in that they include films from Pacific Islands as well as Asian films. Once NETPAC/USA was established, high quality film events and projects were immediately organized that encouraged dialogue and discussions after film screenings in order to better understand cultural nuances in films from Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Ever since Founding President Aruna Vasudev started the organization 25 years ago, NETPAC has been promoting Asian films through seminars, film programs, after-film discussions, publications, online film distribution, and the presentation of a juried NETPAC award given to the “best emerging Asian film director” during 44 international film festivals in 28 countries. Now it’s time to celebrate these achievements during NETPAC@25.
