Vancouver International Film Festival

The 39th Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) will take place from September 24th to October 9th, 2020.

At VIFF's 2019 edition, these events included creator talks with the likes of Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now) and Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), the VIFF Immersed Exhibition of narrative-driven VR experiences, Creator Labs, the VIFF AMP Music in Film Summit, as well as a performance of Tim Heidecker and Greg Turkington’s On Cinema at the Cinema Live and Public Enemy’s Chuck D breaking down the iconic “Fight the Power” for Song Exploder Live. 

In 2020, VIFF will screen more than 180 features and 80 shorts in a multi-venue showcase of exceptional films from around the world. Furthermore, we’ll once again expand the frame to include talks, workshops, performances and other unique events that celebrate innovations in screen-based storytelling.
