The Power of Cinema

We believe in the importance of young people experiencing exceptional Canadian, Indigenous, and international cinema.

Each year, VIFF welcomes hundreds of secondary students to experience exceptional international cinema at the festival. From stories of Indigenous activism to films that capture historic events as they’re unfolding, great world cinema challenges our perspectives, promotes inquiry, develops critical thinking skills, and ignites imaginations.
