Here Comes the VIFF!

VIFF’s #mustseebc

Here comes the VIFF! The 31st Vancouver International Film Festival is coming up September 26 to October 11. And new on tap is its #mustseebc campaign where the public is invited to preview, promote, and vote for BC films across social media in order to honour an upcoming BC film with the Audience Must-See Award.

The VIFF is highlighting 12 BC films and presenting, in addition to the above-mentioned #mustseebc audience choice award, two major prizes for these films: the Best BC Film Award and BC Emerging Filmmaker Award. Some of the films are also eligible for the Canadian First Film Award. We are proud to have worked so far on five of these 12 films, which run the full range from beautiful to stirring to hilarious, and we’re super excited to see the rest of them. Plus, don’t miss the BC Music Series and the BC Short Films also at the VIFF.

That’s a lot to take in, so to get you sorted, the VIFF has a quick-start miniguide, which you can download here. See you at the festival!

Transcription Fail

Thanks to one of our loyal readers who sent in this rather hilarious correction piece. The sight of 30,000 pigs floating down the river would have been quite the news item!

Supplier Profile

One of the things that is really important to Line 21 is to make sure that our staff is well taken care of—that wages are fair, the workplace and conditions are as comfortable as possible, and that we have a robust benefits plan in place that includes life and accident insurance, critical illness and disability insurance and extended health and dental coverage. As service providers, we respect and appreciate excellent service and advice, and so we have a custom small-business benefits package created and administered for us by the Immix Group, a local Vancouver company who we think are the best in their field. We can’t recommend them highly enough to other businesses. Having a good benefits package means that our staff know that they are valued, and owners Anthony and Lindsay make it cost-effective, comprehensive, and administratively painless!
