The Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that supports storytelling about Asian American experiences through film, television, and digital media. It achieves this by funding, producing, distributing, and exhibiting works, and maintains an educational catalog of more than 250 titles—the country's largest collection of Asian American films and videos for educational use. In addition, CAAM has pursued digital media initiatives since 2006 to produce and present projects that educate and engage audiences through new media formats. CAAM organizes CAAMFest each May, a major festival that serves as a premier showcase for new films from Asian America and related communities. The organization is designated by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as one of five minority public broadcasting consortia that provide programming to PBS, and in January 2026 it launched Silk Stream, a digital short film series that reimagines its Silk Screen anthology.
