Jacqueline Dupuis

During her six years as executive director of Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), Jacqueline Dupuis has played a major role in transforming the event into an internationally recognized celebration of screen-based storytelling. Under her guidance, VIFF has expanded its traditional film and industry programming to a “film-plus” model that seamlessly combines curated screenings with compelling panels and citywide events.

Jacqueline is an avid and adventurous traveller – her favourite sojourns include a meditation ashram in India and a yoga-and-surf retreat in Bali – but equally loves exploring her home city. A downtown dweller with a penchant for quietude, nature and wellness, Jacqueline shares her favourite Vancouver experiences that allow her to just “be”.
