Community programs

VAFF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

VAFF strongly believes that film is a powerful educational tool that can stimulate critical thinking and initiate meaningful dialogues between individuals and diverse communities. Ultimately, greater understanding and appreciation is achieved through this media.

Throughout the year, VAFF outreaches to the community seeking opportunities to work with businesses, community groups and schools to develop entertaining, educational and relevant programs and workshops. VAFF is a strong supporter of community partnerships and would welcome all inquiries for community groups to be involved with our festival.

Please send all inquiries to: Community Outreach Coordinator, Allan Cho allan.cho@vaff.org
