Cat's Eye: 31st annual Vancouver International Film Festival
The 31st annual Vancouver International Film Festival wraps up this week after 16 days of memorable films, fun and faces. Known for being a festival of substance, the event featured more than 380 films from around the world organized into series like Canadian Images, Dragons & Tigers, International Shorts and Cinema of Our Time. Still, no festival is complete without a few red carpet parties and premiere galas. Check out a few of the familiar faces below as Vancouver’s more famous locals came out to celebrate.
