Inspire, Inform & Entertain
The Vancouver South African Film Festival is proud to present features and documentaries that explore the culture, history and politics of South Africa – films that inspire, inform, and entertain.
VSAFF is a non-profit event organized entirely by volunteers. All proceeds from the festival go to supporting the important educational development work Education without Borders has been doing in South Africa since 2002.
