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.

Cities across Europe are stepping up for climate, health, and animal protection. Alcorcón, El Masnou, and Parla in Spain, Grenoble in France, and Campolide in Portugal have recently endorsed the call for a global Plant Based Treaty to cut food emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Their commitments include: * Piloting plant-based meals in public dining halls and city facilities, and banning land use changes for animal agriculture (Alcorcón) * Requiring at least 50% plant-based catering at municipal events (El Masnou) * Prioritizing plant-based food in public procurement and developing a local sustainable food strategy, including plant-based menus in school cafeterias, day centres and residencies (Parla) * Increasing plant-based options in canteens and at events, and promoting initiatives such as Veganuary (Grenoble) * Organizing community-based plant-based cooking workshops and running educational programs in schools to raise awareness of food system impacts and encourage dietary shifts (Campolide)   To date, 45 cities globally have endorsed the Plant Based Treaty, and with your support, our teams are transforming food policy one city at a time as we build momentum to secure our first country endorsement.
