 The Greater Vancouver International Film Festival Society was incorporated in the early 1980s and relaunched the festival in 1982.The relaunched festival was staged entirely at the city's independent Ridge Theatre, although the festival has since expanded into a multivenue event headquartered at the Vancouver International Film Centre (VIFC).The Vancity Theatre inside the VIFC hosts VIFF's year-round programming, workshops, special events and collaborates with local organizations for special events.
