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.

Each year we have two main events – our Main Festival (February) and our Fall Series (November) where we have separate film submission drives.

Fall Series 2021

Submissions are now open until August 31st 2021 for our next festival event – the 2021 Fall Series.

The 2021 Fall Series will run from November 12 –21. We will be offering virtual programs for online streaming, and hopefully some in person events at theatres in Vancouver to bring our community together.

All films selected will compete for our Annual Film Awards (February 2022) and will also enjoy a share of the revenues from the virtual event ticket sales. Preference will be given to those films not already available online.

To date, our online streaming events have been an incredible success for the filmmakers involved and we have expanded our reach to include viewers across Canada, the US and Europe. We hope that you will choose to submit your latest film to the VIMFF for consideration at our next event.

More information about submitting your film can be found on our Film Freeway page.
