about the festival

ABOUT VAFF28

This year’s theme of “Future Voices” is to celebrate VAFF’s commitment to uplifting emerging Asian-Canadian and Asian filmmakers alongside established talent.

We are delighted to have Hudson Yang, a very talented Asian-American talent, as the 28h Annual Vancouver Asian Film Festival Brand Ambassador.

VISION

VAFF envisions a world where North American Asian actors and filmmakers have the resources and opportunities to shape mainstream culture in a powerful and positive way.

MISSION

VAFF is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the diversity and depth of Asian culture and identity in film and media, and to help North American Asian actors and filmmakers more authentically and more powerfully define and express themselves on screen.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We are grateful to live and work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm  (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank the First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities that have cared for Turtle Island since time immemorial. With this  acknowledgment, we remind ourselves of discriminatory, racist and colonial practices that have and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples and communities across Turtle Island.
