After you fill out the application, we will get in touch with you to work out the logistics.

You are responsible for booking a venue and ensuring they or you have the adequate technology to screen the films, paying the licensing fee, selling tickets, and spreading the word in your local community.

IVFF will provide you with the films in a playlist, a sample script, and a marketing and press kit that you can use to advertise the event. We will also post your event on our World Tour calendar and social media. The program is usually about 2.5 hours in length.

As much as we love to travel, we unfortunately are unable to attend most of the screenings. We’ll provide you with the information, tools, films and all-around enthusiasm, but the World Tour hosts are in charge of putting on a great event, including everything from finding a venue, to ticket sales and promotion.

Yes. There is a licensing fee to screen the IVFF World Tour. VegFund screening grants may cover screening license and event-related costs of hosting the World Tour.

We encourage you to think outside the box but make sure that venues are well-equipped with the necessary audio/visual equipment, have adequate space and, above all, will make for an unforgettable experience for your audience.

Screening of the IVFF World Tour runs from January 1 through August 31 annually. You can contact us at any point to start the booking process for your screening, but the earlier the better to ensure that you have plenty of time to prepare and promote.

Absolutely! Included in the World Tour screening package is a marketing and press kit via digital download, plus we'll list your event details on the IVFF world tour schedule and our social media channels to encourage audience interest in your area.

Yes! Local sponsors are a great way to help cover the event fee and other costs. However, sponsors who directly compete with the IVFF’s global partners can not be accepted. We will advise you further while working together.

Filmmakers from all over the world submit their films to IVFF in the hopes of being included on the World Tour. The films that are screened have undergone a rigorous selection process to make our official selection. So out of respect to the filmmakers, we ask that you screen all the films in the World Tour screening.

The films are not officially rated, however parental discretion is advised. Our film content may include coarse language, mature subject matter, intense scenes, etc. Consider if your organization and/or venue is comfortable with presenting this type of content.
