Vancouver’s annual Film Festival (VIFF) is back once again ranking in the top 3 film festivals across North America. The festival begins September 27th and runs through October 12th at the Vancouver International Film Centre on Seymour.
Vancouver International Film Festival 2012 will kick off with the highly anticipated Midnight’s Children, the newest film by director Deepa Mehta, which follows the story of two children switched at birth on August 15, 1947: the day India won independence from Britain.
The box office is officially open and VIFF has upgraded their self-delivery ticket options for 2012. This year, you can buy tix up to an hour before the film starts and print at home, or simply send the bar code to your Smartphone and have it scanned at the theatre.
Regular tickets are $13. You will also need to pay the annual VIFF membership ($2) to attend. Student and senior tix are $11. Most VIFF films are intended for the 18+ audience.
