What is the IVFF World Tour?

The IVFF World Tour is the festival untethered—a traveling emissary of vegan culture.

Rather than concentrating all impact into one annual location, the World Tour brings curated IVFF programs to partner cities, universities, animal-rights conferences, community groups, and cultural institutions around the world. Each stop is locally contextualized while remaining globally connected to IVFF’s mission.

The World Tour functions as:

  • A bridge between global cinema and local movements

  • A tool for grassroots organizing and education

  • A year-round presence for IVFF beyond festival season

If the Virtual Festival is the sky and the flagship festival the hearth, the World Tour is the road—cinema packed into a suitcase, knocking on doors, starting conversations in places where the movement needs oxygen.

A group of people watching a video screen inside a room with concrete walls. The video shows a woman holding a sign that reads 'WE ARE THEIR VOICE,' and she appears to be at an outdoor protest or demonstration.
