VKFF · Third Edition
Vancouver Kurdish Film Festival
Kurdish stories, told in light.
A celebration of Kurdish cinema — its resilience, creativity, and power to connect cultures through storytelling.
Following the success of our first two editions in 2024 and 2025 — each with a diverse, powerful lineup of films — we're looking ahead to VKFF 2026.
In a world where Kurdish voices are still underrepresented, this festival matters more than ever. VKFF 2026 will shine an even brighter light on stories from Kurdistan and its diaspora — stories that challenge, inspire, and bring people closer together.
As we grow, our community's support remains central to VKFF's success. Your engagement helps us uplift Kurdish filmmakers, preserve cultural heritage, and bring these stories to wider audiences in Canada and beyond.
