"Now in its 39th year, the 2020 edition of the Vancouver International Film Festival (September 24th – October 7th, 2020) has had to restructure operations this year, as every film festival has due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but remains a bright, eclectic and engaging celebration of cinema from around the world.
Among the five largest film festivals in North America, VIFF promises to have something intriguing and exciting for everyone from genre fans to arthouse enthusiasts, animation fiends, short film aficionadas, documentary dreamers, and so much more.
The 2020 edition of VIFF is pared down considerably owing to the pandemic but still offers over 100 feature films, most of which can be streamed from anywhere in British Columbia, while also showcasing a carefully curated in-cinema program at the Vancouver Film Centre."
