Volunteer at VIFF 2019

The 2019 Vancouver International Film Festival (“VIFF”) is fast approaching and to make this fine festival function, volunteers are needed. If you love movies, the arts and being a part of an amazing community, then VIFF has a spot for you!

Volunteer at VIFF 2019

When: September 26 to October 11, 2019

For 16 days, hundreds of films from around the world will play throughout the city, showcasing unique genres and content. Dozens of directors, writers and actors will be on hand for insightful—and occasionally provocative—post-screening Q&A sessions. The VIFF team of over 1,000 volunteers, in collaboration with staff, and directors create an internationally renowned and appreciative space for filmmakers and audience members to share their love of film and the film industry.
