Guest & Industry Accreditation

ACCREDITATION POLICY
Complimentary VIFF Guest & Industry Accreditation is offered to a select number of visiting film professionals. We accept requests for Accreditation from individuals and representatives of organizations outside of Vancouver who have a professional interest in attending the Festival. Guest accreditation is granted at the discretion of the Festival, and application is no guarantee of acceptance. Accreditation is granted to individuals and is non-transferable.

We are unable to provide local businesses or individuals complimentary accreditation. That is offered only to participating filmmakers and their agents, sponsors of the festival, and select media, film buyers or programmers. As a non-profit society we depend heavily on community support and earned income. We ask that you consider purchasing a pass if your interest extends beyond individual film tickets. We do hope that you will feel welcome at the festival nonetheless, and that you might especially take advantage of the Industry Pass and Industry Hour at the VIFC.

PLEASE NOTE: Other than in the case of invited guests, VIFF will not issue invitation letters for visa purposes.
