Now in its 22nd year, the VFF is an all-volunteer, non-profit arts project of Community Partners. We support local and international voices who advance storytelling, while furthering education, production, and exhibition of film. We do this by having an affordable entry-point ($8.18 USD), so filmmakers everywhere can participate; awarding call-for-entry scholarships to filmmakers in countries affected by conflict; supporting locally-produced films through our signature “Made in the (818)” program; mentoring filmmakers through via our panels/events; and providing a platform to stories that matter.
