Celebrating 2022 Asian Heritage Month!
Asian Heritage Month is a great time to recognize the contributions of filmmakers who are raising awareness about their community’s complexities and unique challenges. Through the Bentonville Film Festival, we are proud to support the growing tide of filmmakers within these groups and showcase their achievements, telling stories that reflect universal messages of love, family duty, and forging their own paths in North American society.
You can support and give back by catching up on just some of our incredible BFF Alumni films available for streaming now.
