Report to Community Barry Jenkins, Moonlight Expand The Frame

In 2016, VIFF celebrated its 35th anniversary. Over this time, we evolved from a small community festival to one of the largest and most prestigious in North America, and now boast a permanent state-of-the-art home and exciting year-round programming.

Instead of breaking out balloons and cake, we celebrated by taking a step back, looking at the legacy of our growth, and its impact on our community, stakeholders and creators worldwide. We asked ourselves if our identity truly reflected what we’d become.

We proudly produce our world-class festival, but we also do much more. And as the landscape of cinematic content creation and consumption rapidly changes, bringing with it fresh opportunities and challenges, we are inspired to explore and continue to evolve at this edge of discovery.

While film remains core to our values, VIFF now expands the frame to explore new media, platforms and trends through multi-experiential programming streams that include talks, events, workshops and installations in a unique 365 ‘film+’ model. Audiences can find exactly what they are looking for and discover more all year round.

Reflective of an engaged global community with an appetite for discovery, our bold new vision and mission brings audiences and creators together on the horizon where we’re the first to see all that is coming next, be it a good story or an exciting new way to tell it.

We believe that discovery is an act to be celebrated. After all, discovery leads to discussion, which leads to connection, which creates an enriched community.

VIFF stands proudly at the edge, in conversation with the world.
