The International Vegan Film Festival (IVFF) is a pioneering platform where art meets activism, showcasing the transformative power of storytelling to create a kinder world for people, animals, and the planet. Since our inception in 2018, IVFF has grown into a global movement with a mission to elevate vegan advocacy through film, cookbooks, and innovative workshops. Our programming includes an annual film festival in Toronto, a year-round world tour bringing these impactful films to global audiences, monthly virtual screenings, and newly added activism workshops designed to empower advocates using art as their medium.
We’re proud to partner with organizations like the AVA Summit, Unitarian Universalist Animal Ministry, and We The Free to extend our reach and deepen our impact. As we look toward the future, IVFF is poised for significant growth, with ambitious plans to expand our programming and build new partnerships that can accelerate vegan activism across the globe.
We are seeking passionate and committed individuals to join our Board of Directors during this exciting phase of growth. As a board member, you’ll be involved in guiding our strategic direction, building partnerships, and contributing to the continued growth of our festival and programs. This is a unique opportunity to join an organization that is gaining momentum and to help shape the future of vegan advocacy through art.
