About the Vancouver Asian Film Festival
The Vancouver Asian Film Festival Society (VAFF) is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates diversity in film by providing a forum for independent Canadian and American Asian filmmakers to showcase their work to Asian and non-Asian audiences in Vancouver. VAFF is the oldest Asian film festival in Canada. It was founded by
independent filmmaker and writer Barbara K. Lee in 1995 and debuted in September 1997. Since then tens of thousands of film lovers have experienced a diverse selection of North American-Asian and international films. VAFF is entirely organized and produced by a group of dedicated volunteers, and is made possible by generous
financial support from corporate sponsors, public funders and private donors.
