Subject: ADFF:Vancouver starts today!

November 9, 2023

We're expecting perfect weather for ADFF:Vancouver with cool and rainy days as fall turns into winter. The ski slopes haven't opened yet so it's a perfect time to see films! More than 50% of the screenings are already sold out, so don't wait too long to get your tickets. We will have a rush line for all screenings that have sold out (except for opening night).

SOLD OUT

Opening night is the Vancouver premiere of We Start With the Things We Find at the beautiful Hollywood Theater. Your ticket includes a party before and after the screening. After the film will be a Q&A with the film's director, Tom Piper, and LOT-EK co-founder Giuseppe Lignano.

There are many excellent films to choose from this year. Here is an updated list of screenings that still have tickets available.
