Film Submissions

The VIMFF provides outdoor communities around the world with international mountain film screenings, live multimedia presentations, photo exhibitions, workshops, seminars and other special events.

We offer in person shows as well as virtual streaming events, and our World Tour travelling shows featuring award winning films. Driven by a passion for film, culture and the outdoors, we seek to advance the appreciation of films and film-making while inspiring, informing and educating the public in these areas. The VIMFF runs two separate film submission drives for our main events – our Fall Series (November) and our Main Festival (February).

Film submissions are now closed for the Fall Series 2023 event.

For enquiries or late submissions, please reach out to our Program Director, Kiran Basra at kiran@vimff.org. Our next round of film submissions will be in the fall of 2023 as we prepare for the VIMFF 2024.

VIMFF Fall Series - November 2023:

VIMFF Fall Series 2023 will run from November 13 – 18, 2023.

It will be a hybrid festival of in person events at theatres across Vancouver and virtual programs offered online for streaming.
