Founded in 1982, The Greater Vancouver International Film Festival Society is a not-for-profit cultural organization that operates the internationally acclaimed Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) and the year-round programming of the Vancity Theatre at the Vancouver International Film Centre.
In its 35th year, VIFF expands the frame to create multi-experiential streams that include some of the best cinema from around the world fused with related talks and events in a unique Film+ model. The new model expands the frame, giving audiences and creators a chance to discover, discuss and connect more.
Among screening one of the largest selections of East Asian films outside of that region, VIFF is one of the biggest showcases of Canadian film in the world and it has a large and vibrant documentary program.
