VIMFF Film Grant presented by ARC'TERYX

VIMFF and ARC’TERYX have partnered to present this filmmaker development grant to further our shared commitment to supporting Canadian adventure film.

The grant award’s $5000 CAD to the selected recipient filmmaker to produce their proposed project which will premiere at VIMFF the following calendar year.

This grant is intended to support emerging filmmakers specializing in mountain film. We hope it will help them kick start a successful career and enable them to produce a film they have been dreaming of.

Our aim is to support the development of Canadian adventure filmmakers, promote self-propelled wilderness adventures and bring the resulting story to the VIMFF screen for our community to enjoy.

The VIMFF proudly presents the 2022 film grant winner:

A Star In The Sky

Synopsis: Reality changes forever as Emily Grady is forced to come to terms with the loss of her partner by suicide. A tenuous balancing act between providing and receiving support ensues; struggling with her own grief and loss, she must also create a path of resiliency for her two children – one in which they are both shielded from the darkness and able to somehow come to understand their father’s struggle with depression. To them, he becomes a star in the sky – a constant and tangible connection.
