Over the years, the Vermont International Film Festival has become the premier documentary film and video festival in the region. Today, VIFF participates internationally with the Human Rights Film Network to promote exchange, communicate and collaborate regarding the representation of human rights issues in moving pictures. Connecting global and local perspectives remains paramount in the festival’s mission.
VIFF is programmed around through a juried call-for-entry selection of new work. The organization is committed to functioning as a focal point for filmmakers to have their work recognized in the festival community. Juried awards are given out each year to films that best exemplify new work in three competitive categories: War and Peace, Human Rights, and The Environment. Additional awards are presented to Vermont filmmakers.
