But, we also recommend checking out all the events that are planned as well. These range from director talks and Q&A’s to workshops and masterclasses from industry insiders. So, whether you’re planning a career in movie-making or just want to know how the creator got a particular shot, these are well worth checking out as well.
Finally, those looking to cozy up at home will be glad to know that a selection of the films will be available on the VIFF Connect streaming platform. However, we won’t hesitate to say that this theatre has some of the best popcorn in the city, so you’re missing out there.
VIFF officially kicks off on October 1st, and will last until October 11th. Tickets are on sale now, and we’re going to check out the full lineup and see what jumps out at us. So, stay tuned for that as well!
