Fall Series 2024 Film Submissions + Photography Competition now open!
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 in November and our Festival in February.
