VIFF 2012

Tonight marks the start of the 2012 Vancouver International Film Festival!

VIFF is among the five largest film festivals in North America, featuring 380 cinematic gems from over 75 countries this year alone. The event runs from September 17 - October 12, 2012. 



We are proud to be an official sponsor of VIFF, providing the online reservation technology to manage hotel rooms for out-of-town guests, or locals who want to stay closer to the action. 

Somebody Up There Likes Me, winner if the Special Jury Prize at the 2012 Locarno film festival, is our sponsored film this year. The movie is directed by Bob Byinton and revolves around the main character, Max Youngman, 'who fails to mature - or even age- over the course of 35 years. Max is saddled with a considerable Peter Pan complex. An absurd look at a slacker slouching towards his destiny, this tale of misadventure doles out "smarmy rapid-fire dialogue that would make Preston Sturges dizzy." - Indiewire'
