Among the highlights:

• Late Shift (Heldin) is a Swiss-German hospital thriller told in German, starring Leonie Benesch, and emerges as a powerful exploration of compassion and systemic strain in healthcare. It's a standout example of German-language cinema that commands attention.
• Other German entries include Miroirs No. 3 (Christian Petzold), Hysteria, Köln 75, Wind, Talk to Me, and several shorts backed by German production—each offering a unique voice and cinematic approach.

But the festival's promise goes far beyond one country. Films like Ancestral Visions of the Future, Cutting Through Rocks, Khartoum, and Calle Malaga ensure VIFF remains a truly global celebration of film. If you're in Vancouver or screening online, it's time to discover something unforgettable.
