Years of experience
VIYFF started as a spin-off of the highly successful Vancouver Chinese Film Festival in the year 2018. We screen films by young filmmakers from all backgrounds.
2022
After two years of virtual festivals, VIYFF returned to having in-person film screenings and other events. In 2022, we presented a joint festival program along with the Vancouver Chinese International Film Festival.
