National Film Board
The 30th edition of the Victoria Film Festival (VFF) will showcase a BC premiere and award-winning documentary and animation from the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) during a 10-day celebration of cinema in the British Columbia capital, from February 2 to 11, 2024.
VFF is presenting two NFB feature-length documentaries:
- WaaPaKe (Tomorrow), by Vancouver-based filmmaker Dr. Jules Arita Koostachin-winner of the Best BC Film Award at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival;
- The BC premiere of the NFB/Intuitive Pictures co-production Stolen Time, the latest film by distinguished documentarian Helene Klodawsky.
The festival is also screening two NFB shorts:
- The Girl with the Red Beret by Janet Perlman-just named Best International Short at the Los Angeles Animation Festival;
- Winnipeg director Karsten Wall's Modern Goose, an exquisitely observed film essay that embeds audiences in the daily life of these iconic animals.
