Think of the International Vegan Film Festival (IVFF) as a lighthouse, and its festival eveents as different beams of light sweeping across land and sea—each beam reaching a different audience, but all powered by the same moral engine.

What is the International Vegan Film Festival (IVFF)?

The International Vegan Film Festival (IVFF) is a nonprofit cultural institution dedicated to advancing veganism and anti-speciesism through the power of cinema. It curates, celebrates, and amplifies films that challenge the normalization of animal exploitation while uplifting stories of compassion, justice, and systemic change.

At its core, IVFF exists to do what policy papers and protests often cannot: move hearts before minds. Films at IVFF are not propaganda—they are mirrors and windows. Mirrors, because they reflect our ethical contradictions back to us. Windows, because they open onto futures where humans no longer build prosperity on the suffering of other beings.

IVFF serves filmmakers, activists, educators, and audiences who understand culture as the long game of social change. By treating vegan and animal-rights storytelling as a legitimate artistic and moral frontier, IVFF builds a living archive of movement cinema and a global community around it.
