VIFF is the home of film and film culture in Western Canada. Driven by curatorial excellence, VIFF encourages understanding of the world’s cultures through the art of cinema. 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.

When you work at VIFF you are part of a friendly, dedicated team who are passionate about the transformative power of the cinematic experience.
