The Vancouver International Film Festival returns for their 45th year this October 1-11 for another curated season celebrating the best in independent, Canadian, documentary, and international shorts and features.

Derya and Aziz, a successful theatre couple based in Ankara, are celebrating the premiere of their latest play when they find themselves targeted by censorious state investigations that upend their lives overnight. Amid mounting pressures, the couple try to hold on to their political convictions. Winner of this year’s Golden Bear, Yellow Letters is a boldly subversive drama and a reminder that state censorship is not only a present threat, but that it can happen anywhere.

VIFF thanks the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations for their continued stewardship of the unceded and occupied land on which our work takes place. As an organization founded and predominantly directed by settlers and immigrants, we understand our responsibility to seek out and build authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, and to allow this ongoing dialogue to influence our practices. As part of this process, we remain committed to collaborating with and supporting Indigenous artists, filmmakers, curators, and audiences.
