TICKETS, FESTIVAL PASSES & MEMBERSHIPS
Welcome to the 18th Vancouver Latin American Film Festival, our first-ever hybrid festival!
Between August 27-September 6, you will be able to watch all films online through the Cinesend watch portal. Films are geo-blocked to Canada, which means you will need to be in Canada to watch the film. Once you start the film, you will have 72 hours to watch it.
We will also be hosting seven in-person events at The Cinematheque on Aug 28, 29, 30 and Sept 2, 3, 4, 5. In order to follow health protocols and keep the audience safe, each person must have a ticket (no passes). Only 40 tickets will be sold per event and the Cinematheque has blocked off seats in groups of two for safe social distancing. All attendees are requested to wear masks when inside the lobby and cinema, if they are able to do so safely. We strongly encourage you to buy your tickets in advance.
Before arriving, please check out The Cinematheque’s current Health & Safety protocols.
