This year the Festival will present more than 70 films from around the world that will compete for the best film in three categories - War and Peace, Justice and Human Rights, and the Environment. Vermont filmmakers will be also acknowledged with a special, all day program of locally-produced films.
The selection includes groundbreaking of films that shed light on the complex situation in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa. A very special showcase America Now! will give an in-depth analysis and diverse picture of our society today.
The Festival will premiere Robert Altman’s latest film Tanner on Tanner, a satire on politics and filmmaking.
VIFF audiences can also see the original Japanese version of Godzilla which was the "Fahrenheit 9/11" of its time. Both films come after terrifying attacks on their nations and incorporate similar dialogue.
