Expression of Interest – VLAFF Board of Directors
The Vancouver Latin American Film Festival (VLAFF) is currently accepting Expressions of Interest from individuals interested in joining our Board of Directors.
We are seeking community-minded individuals who are passionate about film, arts, culture, equity, and community-building, and who are interested in contributing to the long-term sustainability and growth of the organization.
Serving on the Board is an opportunity to support VLAFF’s mission, help shape its strategic direction, and contribute to the continued development of one of Canada’s longest-running Latin American film festivals.
About VLAFF
Founded in 2003, the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival (VLAFF) is a registered charitable organization dedicated to providing a forum for the promotion and exhibition of Latin American cinema in Vancouver.
Each year, VLAFF presents an 11-day festival that encourages dialogue among cultures and supports and celebrates the art of contemporary Latin American, Latin-Canadian, and Indigenous filmmaking. Through film screenings, conversations, music, and community events, VLAFF creates opportunities for connection, learning, and cultural exchange.
Who We Are Looking For
We welcome expressions of interest from individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Previous board experience is an asset but is not required.

- Arts and cultural leadership
- Community engagement and outreach
- Fundraising and sponsorship
- Governance and strategic planning
- Finance, accounting, or legal expertise
- Marketing and communications
- Human resources and organizational development
- Equity, accessibility, and inclusion
Most importantly, we are looking for individuals who are committed to VLAFF’s mission and values and are excited to contribute to the organization’s future.
