Independent films are the cornerstone for sharing intimate, character-driven stories set apart from the everyday offerings of large box office studios. For 15 years, the DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon has connected audiences with authentic and original films by the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities.
If you value authentic voices in film and seeing humanity through a diverse lens, please consider making a donation to DisOrient. Find the sponsorship level that works for you and join us in celebrating Asian American independent films. Cash and in-kind contributions are gratefully accepted.
Sponsorships are due February 1, 2020.
Memberships are also a great way for individuals to support and experience DisOrient. Members enjoy many benefits during the festival—including access to all films, events, and Green Room, as well as free admission to various events throughout the year.
DisOrient is entirely run by volunteers and all dollars go directly towards putting on our film festival and related events.
