R2R Festival 2023
Reel 2 Real celebrates the 25th anniversary of the festival from March 28 to April 6, 2023!
The festival is back in person to bring you the best of the best films for children and their families from around the globe at the Roundhouse Community Centre and VIFF Centre Theatre. We’re also happy to announce that all our short films programs will be available online across B.C (no feature film available online).
For our 25th Anniversary we are paying homage to the roots of the festival and the Edith Lando Peace Prize, which has celebrated films that use the medium of cinema to advance the goals of peace and justice since 2008. These themes can be found in many of the films and programs this year and clearly align with the zeitgeist of young people’s attitudes and focus.
