The 2022 Vancouver International Film Festival, the 41st event in the history of the Vancouver International Film Festival, was held from September 29 to October 9, 2022.[1] The festival opened with the Marie Clements film Bones of Crows, and closed with Hirokazu Kore-eda's film Broker.[2]
The festival scheduled 135 feature films and 102 short films overall.[3] All films were screened in-person, although a selection of films was also available throughout British Columbia on the online VIFF Connects platform.[3]
The most noted change at the 2022 festival is the introduction of Vanguard, a competitive program for films by emerging directors.[1] The festival will present a $5,000 award to the film selected as the best film in that program.[1] Some of the festival's programs have also been renamed from past years, including the Canadian film program being renamed from True North to Northern Lights and the Music/Art/Design (M/A/D) program for documentary films about the arts being renamed to Portraits.
Awards
Juried award winners were announced on October 7, 2022,[4] with audience award winners announced following the conclusion of the festival.[5]
