+The 2012 festival will be held on November 6-11 in Downtown Toronto and November 16-17 in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
+==Pitch Competition==
+The festival also hosts an annual pitch competition where Asian-Canadian filmmakers pitch a project to industry experts for a chance to win cash and filmmaking resources to make their film.  The work from the winning pitches will premiere at the following year's festival.
+==Community==
+Reel Asian also supports many community initiatives and co-presents films with Asian content and themes at other local film festivals.
