About Us
DisOrient is a social justice film festival dedicated to deconstructing
the media stereotypes of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans as
“Orientals.” We believe in the power of film-as-art to educate, heal
and improve the lives of people by giving voice to their experiences.

use the W.E.B. DuBois standard of “for us, by us, or about us."
