The world’s premier vegan film festival is seeking vegan-themed films
The International Vegan Film Festival is a trailblazing event dedicated to celebrating a healthier, compassionate, environmentally friendly lifestyle that can be achieved through the consumption of plants and animal-free alternatives.
This is a rare opportunity to be a part of a festival that has been the launch pad for such noteworthy titles as Alex Lockwood’s 73 Cows, which went on to win a BAFTA Award in 2019.
The deadline for film submissions is July 1, 2020. You can submit your film or encourage a filmmaker to submit on IVFF’s website: theivff.com.
The International Vegan Film Festival hosted its inaugural Festival on October 14, 2018 at the Mayfair Theatre as the only known vegan film festival in the world. It is now in its third year and will host its first-ever virtual festival. The Festival judging panel includes a who’s-who of the vegan world, including Miyoko Schinner, the founder of Miyoko’s Creamery, Dale Vince, CEO of Ecotricity—the UK’s first and largest green energy provider—and owner of the all-vegan Forest Green Rovers football club as well as David Flynn, one of the twin brothers behind Irelands vegan ‘foodie empire’ Happy Pear.
The Festival accepts films from professional and amateur filmmakers, with large and small budgets, short and full-length features, and fiction and documentary. All of the films selected for the 2020 Festival will be considered for the 2021 World Tour.
