Everything about The Vancouver International Film Festival totally explained
The
Vancouver International Film Festival (
VIFF) is an annual
film festival held in
Vancouver,
Canada for two weeks in late September and early October. The festival began in
1982 and is operated by the Greater Vancouver International Film Festival Society, a provincially-registered non-profit and federally-registered charitable organization.
The festival shows both Canadian and international films, and has established a reputation as a stepping stone for many young
Asian filmmakers. In
2004, it was the largest exhibitor of Asian films outside of Asia.
Documentary films are also a major component of the festival. The 2006 festival screened over 300 films from more than 50 countries, nearly a quarter of which were nonfiction.
Annual attendance has exceeded 150,000 since 2003.
