The 24th New York Asian Film Festival will held in New York City on July 11, 2025. This year’s theme is "Cinema as Disruption", reflecting a focus on bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. The festival will present over 100 films screened in person, featuring a diverse selection of both contemporary works and classic titles from across Asia and beyond. The programme includes more than 75 premieres, comprising eight world premieres, 41 North American premieres, and five United States premieres. Highlights include 19 Southeast Asian films representing six countries, along with 17 directorial debuts of which nearly half are by women filmmakers.

The festival will close on July 27, 2025 with 2025 Philippino Comedy film Flower Girl by Fatrick Tabada.
