Brazil will be the guest of honour at the 14th edition of the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival. This is the first time that VLAFF will be hosting Brazil as the guest country. 

 

Throughout the years, VLAFF has presented a large number of Brazilian films and welcomed many directores, actors and producers, including Eryk Rocha (director: Transeunte, 2011), Paula Cosenza (producer: The Samba within Me, 2011), and Fabio Audi (actor: The Way He Looks, 2014) among others.

 

The festival has awarded the documentary prize on two occasions to Brazilian cinema: The Samba within Me, 2011 & The Hyper Women, 2012. 

 

With the support to the Consulate General of Brazil in Vancouver, the festival is thrilled to welcome such a vibrant cinema.

 

The 14th edition of the festival will take place from Aug 25 to September 4, 2016.
