The Vancouver South African Film Festival is proud to present features and documentaries that explore the culture, history and politics of South Africa – films that inspire, inform, and entertain. The festival is the most significant festival of South African films held anywhere outside of South Africa.

Now in its 8^th year, the 2018 lineup includes feature films exploring the intense Dusi Canoe Marathon, post-apartheid and post-Zuma South Africa, and the pain of being torn between cultures, as well as documentaries about Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and grandmothers in a historic fight for justice and dignity.

Each year VSAFF is also proud to present one film from an African country other than South Africa.

“Liyana” is the stunning part animated, part documentary film from Swaziland that will delight the whole family.

Join us for a three-day celebration of South African film! All proceeds from the festival go to go to support Education without Borders to provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged and at-risk children through initiatives in South Africa and Canada.
