The Asian Film Festival of Dallas is celebrating its 25th year with a weekend program that is being framed as one of its strongest lineups so far. The festival returns to the Angelika Film Center in Dallas, giving local audiences another chance to see a wide mix of films tied to Asian cinema.
This year’s slate appears built around variety. The program includes zombie stories, ghost tales and hard-hitting documentaries, creating a schedule that moves between genre thrills and more grounded nonfiction storytelling.
That mix helps explain why the anniversary edition is drawing attention. Rather than focusing on a single tone or style, the festival seems to be leaning into contrast, pairing entertaining horror and suspense with documentaries that add weight and perspective.
For Dallas moviegoers, the 25th edition positions the Angelika as a key stop for a packed film weekend. With a milestone anniversary and a broad selection of titles, the Asian Film Festival of Dallas is marking its return with a lineup aimed at both longtime followers and curious newcomers.
