Mission

VAFF is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the diversity and depth of Asian diaspora culture and identity in film and media, and to help Asian diaspora actors and filmmakers more authentically and more powerfully define and express themselves on screen. Through its annual film festival and many other programs and events hosted in Vancouver and online, VAFF's mission is to be the "go-to" forum for the public and the film industry to engage in and provide opportunities to shape mainstream culture in a powerful and positive way to finally be seen and heard.
