	The 21st Vancouver Film International Festival: A Review
		Festival organizers have said that one of the chief benefits of these centralized venues will be the “increased ease of catching back-to-back screenings.” The location will also promote easier access for out-of-town visitors staying at local hotels used by the festival.
		The film’s characters are drawn out and defined by their relation to video: that is, either in terms of how they are depicted on video or how they use video to depict others.
		In her film, Wild is placing the political rhetoric or battle of ideologies on trial, not the characters.

	Vancouver International Film Festival 2006
		The Vancouver International Film Festival yesterday launched the programme for its 25th anniversary film festival.
		When I interviewed Franey prior to the festival he admited that although the Vancouver International Film Festival has become used to the constant media attention during festival time, it has been a little frustrating that attendances since the film centre started regular screenings in January have "not been as good as they should be".
		So on VIFF's 25th Anniversary year, Franey is keen to remind people of the "convivial", social aspect of the film festival and cinema-going.

	Film at UBC - Vancouver International Film Festival Online Reviews, 2004
		The film unfolds as audiences are treated to the vastly different geographies of South America including the Andes and the desert.
		As the narrator says, this film is "about the parallel lives of two people with similar dreams and aspirations" and does inspire us to take a second look at the world, beyond the urbanness and the underworld.
		The film follows the life of a young boy, Marko, who is an excellent student and is encouraged by his teacher to keep studying, that "his writing will be his ticket out".

	The Vancouver International Film Festival - Festival Wraps TAKE ONE - Find Articles
		The Vancouver International Film Festival's 20th edition -- prescient motto: "Same Planet, Different Worlds" -- was better suited than most to open those windows and, in the process, provide audiences with what, given record attendance figures, they seemed to crave.
		Festival director Alan Franey, citing as a "cultural victory" the VIFF's success in the wake of so many unexpected challenges, noted that local audiences were "keen to come together and enjoy the festival experience and the pursuit of art.
		The police had to be called to one screening of Makhmalbaf's film after a man showed up at the advance ticket outlets and vowed to "stop the screening." Thankfully, nothing came of his threat.

	hackwriters.com -Alex Grant Reports on the Vancouver Film Festival
		The annual Toronto film festival which I attended in its initial years is of course devoutly at the feet of Hollywood, yet does display better taste and a far higher level of discrimination each Fall when compared with VIFF.
		Anti-Americanism is rampant in much of Vancouver - the sons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters of Vietnam conchies/draft dodgers have inculcated in their offspring a truly sinister hatred of their forebears’land of birth.
		VIFF was decent as recently as 1992, when I watched Atom Egoyan's "The Adjuster" with a very young M. Night Shyamalan, who attended with his first feature "Praying With Anger".

	September 25 -- Vancouver Film Festival preview
		The film's treatment of faith is sincere but also a little gimmicky, and when the time comes to see whether Grace's prediction is true, the moment cannot help but feel a little anti-climactic.
		Most films at the festival can usually be seen by adults only, but a handful are sometimes made available to high school students as well.
		The film, written and directed by Ra'anan Alexandrowicz, certainly has a unique sound, since the dialogue slips back and forth between English and Hebrew and both languages are pronounced in a variety of accents.

	Three Iranian films heading to Vancouver festival

		The film was nominated in the Best Director of First Films category at the 24th Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran last January.

	Daryl Lorette: Vancouver Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Filipino film Todo Todo Teros has won the Dragons and Tigers Award for Young Cinema at the Vancouver International Film Festival.
		The movie, Torres's feature film debut, is "a multi-dimensional manifesto on personal experiences, filmmaking and life under difficult political conditions," the three-member Dragons and Tigers jury said in a statement.
		Vancouver film fest organizers will announce the remainder of its annual awards at the close of this year's edition, which ends Oct. 13.

	eFilmCritic - The 2005 Vancouver International Film Festival - A Primer
		The festival kicks off on Thursday night with a gala opening screening of Deepa Mehta's "Water" (which also opened the Toronto Film Festival early in September) and closes with a screening of The Dardenne Brother's "L'enfant" which won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
		The film bonds a unique relationship between a wide eyed son and his grandmother, but the problem lies in the sad fact that the film has nowhere to go besides a few very good performances and the film's strong point of the family unit.
		While some of the street dance sequences and the old film footage are fun to watch, the slow interviews and performance footage later in the film (one of which is oh-so boringly shot entirely from a backstage angle) sadly take away from the overall idea.

		It was also on the program at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month, where Cruz revealed she wore a fake bottom to play the role of a working mother tormented by a teenage daughter, a layabout husband and an interfering ghost.
		The festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary in its new home at the Vancouver International Film Centre.
		But the festival, which features a mix of Canadian and international films, has maintained a focus on young filmmakers, with many first- and second-time directors, he said.

	Vancouver International Film Festival '04 - The Digital Video Information Network
		The story is eventually taken over by the story of the young daughter who, through her eyes, sees the breakdown in civility and reason among the people they meet and who tries to reach out to a young boy who has become one of the wolves who prey on the others.
		Cheung never hits the same kind of bottom you may have seen in other junkie movies and her big come down in the film is that she eventually accepts a job that requires her to wear every day clothes, not the hip 'street' gear she does throughout the film.
		With a more histrionic actress the film might have raised more 'so what' questions than it does but Maggie Cheung is so radiant, no matter what her situation, you can't help but root for her in her journey to meet her son again.

		The film draws on its subject for spontaneity and compassion, in order to present on-screen the real-life humanity that plays with all the intriguing elements of a structured script.
		The film highlights three main residents: Max Trachter, Claire Mandell, and Ida Orliffe (which the title suggests) and brings Helen Mosten-Growe, Fay Silverman, Ruth Kogon, Rachel Baker, and Murray Cornish into the spotlight as we follow them through their everyday lives at Baycrest.

	eFilmCritic - Threading Up the 2006 Vancouver International Film Festival
		While the Toronto International Film Festival takes top honour at getting out the films and stars, the VIFF is more of an audience-driven festival that brings together an enormous group of cinephiles (like moi) for fifteen days of intense screenings.
		Running alongside the film festival for the first few days is the annual Trade Forum, which brings several keynote speakers together to focus on assisting new filmmakers find their path in the industry.
		At the same time, the film is a human comedy of manners, family and the ability to love, and its warm direction by Hrebejk makes this one not to miss at the festival.

	19th Vancouver International Film Festival
		These two films are not at all the stereotypical tale of a lost child in Tehran or a lonely boy in the countryside, but rather very politically aware and complex tales.
		Iranian films were among the only sold-out (even oversold) shows at the Vancouver Festival, due in part to a large local expatriate community plus the general Festival buzz.
		This is quite a visual film, often focusing on Aman's evocative face and the colours in her environment.

	Vancouver International Film Festival 2005--Part 3 Strengths and weaknesses of Asian cinema
		In recent years Asian art films have accumulated a certain reputation in critical circles, if not within wide layers of the population (to whom, at least in the US, they are largely unknown), for their greater seriousness.
		It’s a disturbing moment, and the picture presented in the film is disturbing, of a dysfunctional family in a dysfunctional society, but, again, it hardly breaks new ground.
		In his films in the 1980s an element of social protest was present, consciously or otherwise; this has largely been replaced by nostalgia.

		The festival is the largest showcase of Canadian films in the world and presents the greatest number of East Asian films outside Asia.
		The Asian films in general were disappointing, particularly the South Korean and Taiwanese works, continuing a trend that has deepened in the last few years.
		There is a great deal of cleverness, technical wizardry and formal virtuosity in present-day art and film, but a very weak grasp of social and historical processes, the processes ultimately determining the fate of humanity.

	village voice > film > Vancouver International Film Festival by Dennis Lim
		VANCOUVER, CANADA—For an event of its size—300-plus films over two and a half weeks—the Vancouver International Film Festival has always maintained a pleasing illusion of smallness, not least because this most convivial and cinephilic of North American fests is, by design, more movie club than market.
		For its 24th edition, which wrapped up in mid October, VIFF shifted its focal point to the imposing Vancouver International Film Centre, but the housewarming festivities were, true to form, eccentric and devoid of bombast (or at any rate eccentric in their idea of bombast).
		Its themes—culpability, memory, the capacity for change, the passage of time—take on a vertiginous depth as it darts among three couples: the one in the first film, their counterparts in a present-day remake-within-the-film, and the two original actors (Shigeru Muroi and Takeshi Naito), now middle-aged.

		Film director Joong-Rae (Kim Seung-Woo) drives to Shinduri Beach and insists on dragging his friend/production designer Chang-Wook (Kim Tae-Woo) along for the ride.
