To VANCOUVER, with LOVE

How do you love Vancouver? Let us count the ways! In 2011, Vancouver is celebrating its 125th birthday and the Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF) is in its 15th year. To celebrate, VAFF is commissioning local Vancouver artists and citizens of the world—filmmakers, writers, painters, photographers, and audiences like you—to express how they feel about Vancouver.

Tell the world why you love this city’s diverse culture: send Vancouver your “LOVE LETTER,” and become part of a landmark celebration of Vancouver’s rich multicultural heritage.

TWO WAYS TO SEND VANCOUVER YOUR LOVE:

1) PHOTO LOVE—Send us a photo (5X7, 300 dpi) of people, places, events, or things in the city that showcase its diversity, and include a 100-word description of how the image represents what you love about multicultural Vancouver.

2) VIDEO LOVE—Send us a video (3 min max.) of why you love Vancouver’s diverse cultural identity, in any genre (narrative, documentary, music video, animation, experimental).

“Love Letters to Vancouver” is open to audiences worldwide. If you have experienced, lived in, have connections to or thoughts about Vancouver and its diverse community, we want to hear from you!
