WHY SPONSOR VLAFF?

The 14th Vancouver Latin American Film Festival, August 25 - September 4, 2016, will build on its reputation for programming a dynamic selection of the best of contemporary Latin American cinema at over 50 screenings and events in Vancouver, BC this fall. Thousands of film lovers of Latin American and non-Latin American backgrounds alike will attend screenings and participate in events, learning opportunities and celebrations, offering a unique opportunity to sponsors for exposure across the Lower Mainland, Canada and the world.
