Tasveer is the only Oscar® Qualifying South Asian Film Festival in the world. 

Mission: To inspire social change through films, art and storytelling!

Vision: We envision an informed and just society where storytelling leads to truth-telling and in the process, individuals are entertained, transformed, healed, and empowered. 

Objective: To engage the community through South Asian films, and storytelling from South Asia and its diaspora to foster a deeper understanding of South Asian Culture and build a just society. 

Tasveer makes meaningful films and stories accessible to everyone and builds a stronger informed community. Through these stories, we initiate dialog that bridges communities and increases awareness of all South Asian cultures representing Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Tibet, and Sri Lanka. 

We provide a platform and funds to filmmakers, and storytellers and employ stories as a vehicle to give voice to marginalized communities.
