For seven years, the International Vegan Film Festival has been a four-hour evening of watching short films in a theater. This year’s unprecedented number of submissions (56, over 45 hours of runtime!) is an encouraging sign for the movement, and demands that the format of the festival be expanded. Over World Vegan Day Weekend we will be screening 38 films, including six feature films, in seven distinct sessions!

Saturday is World Vegan Day, and we will be celebrating it with three programs emphasizing 80 years of animal-free lifestyles, plant-based health, and environmental protection. To accommodate the discerning needs and desires of moviegoers, films with aggressive themes and scenes of graphic violence have been sorted into Sunday’s Animal Advocacy Program. Each day features a matinee at 3pm, including our yet-to-be-announced winner of the Vegan-Themed Feature Film category on Sunday!

If you’re ready for everything World Vegan Day Weekend has to offer, consider the savings that we’ve incorporated into our Weekend Pass. If you live in the Toronto area, the IVFF Annual Membership keeps the moviegoing experience all year long — we are committed to at least one IVFF screening event every month until next year’s festival!
