Vancouver International Film Festival

Celebrating excellence in screen based storytelling. 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 theatres at the VIFF Centre. We produce screenings, talks and events as a catalyst for a diverse community to discover, discuss and share the creativity and craft of storytelling on screen. Year-round, the luxurious Vancity Theatre at the VIFF Centre screens some of the best festival-style films from around the world. VIFF’s renowned programming team presents unique, relevant and entertaining films that might otherwise go unseen by Vancouver film-lovers. In addition to being home to VIFF’s offices and the Vancity Theatre, The Vancouver International Film Centre – including its stunning atrium – is also available for private rental by individuals and organizations. The Vancity Theatre has been designed to dazzle. Come and enjoy exceptional cinema the way it was meant to be seen. “With the VIFC’s state-of-the-art projection and sound equipment, huge screen and plush seats with ample legroom and double armrests(to prevent elbow fighting), the designers have succeeded in creating something very like the optimal viewing environment.” — Business Week
