WELCOM GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, it is my pleasure to welcome you to CAAMFest 2015! Congratulations to the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) on its 33rd film festival — the largest Asian American film festival in North America that celebrates the richness and diversity of Asian American storytelling in film, music and food. As the recognized leader in innovative Asian and Asian American media in the United States, CAAM has been presenting stories that convey the richness and diversity of the Asian American experience to audiences across the country and abroad through its funding, production, distribution and exhibiting of works for film, television and digital media for over three decades. CAAM continues to explore the intersections of food and storytelling with this year’s CAAMFeast Awards: Stories, Food and You, a very special event honoring Asian American culinary achievement. CAAM’s hard work and dedication significantly contribute to innovatively embracing multiculturalism in our city, and their efforts represent San Francisco values at their very best. I salute CAAM as it continues its extraordinary work in bringing communities together in celebration of our love for film, food, music and culture. With warmest regards,
Edwin M. Lee Mayor
