Official programme & viewing information
Use VIFF's official festival search and calendar for exact screenings and ticket availability. MatchApp connects selected films to Ask Ai for title-level discovery and where-to-watch information.
Before visiting or looking for coverage
VIFF discovery can include films, conversations and live events. Decide which kind of experience you want, then read the full programme entry before booking. A festival event associated with a film may be a discussion or performance rather than a complete screening of that work.
For a film shortlist, compare subject, length and language rather than choosing only by a familiar director. Check subtitles and the exact session’s venue on the organiser’s page. If you plan consecutive events, confirm the finish time and travel between locations yourself.
When using the archive afterward, separate an official recording of a talk from a viewing offer for the film it discusses. Save the original film title, year and director for later discovery. The festival listing does not establish an ongoing streaming licence or access outside the territory named by the provider.
