Support Us

On behalf of everyone here at the Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival we'd like to tell you how your donation supports unique film experiences in Greater Victoria...

Best Contemporary Films

We strive to bring you the best feature and short films from Canada and around the world. Past films at the Festival have gone on to screen around the world and win awards such as the Oscar and Palme d'or.

Future Audiences

To ensure a healthy future for the Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival and the arts in general, your donations support programmes like FilmCan - giving teens an in-depth opportunity to create a short film while being mentored by leading Victoria filmmakers.

Access

Your donation allows us to keep our ticket prices low and offer special free programmes that ensure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to appreciate unique film experiences.

Your belief in the Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival has made us a valued and vibrant organization and is truly appreciated. With your support we can continue to offer great film, underpinned by a strong sense of financial responsibility, for the benefit of all who would like to join us.
