Unlike other vegan film events, which are one-off, local screenings, Director Shawn Stratton
says he aimed to show a unique variety of quality vegan-themed films from around the world
and make the Festival an annual international event.
In 2021 the Festival welcomed 45 film submissions, both short and full-length features,
fiction and documentary, totaling over 20 hours of vegan-themed films. "All entries were
submitted into one of five categories and were viewed by a pre-selection Committee chaired
by the Festival Director and Programming Director. An appointed international jury then
screened finalists chosen by this Committee." This year, over 60% of the submitted films are
female-directed.
Director Shawn Stratton says he aimed to "show a unique variety of quality vegan-themed
films from around the world with the purpose to educate, inspire and entertain vegans and
non-vegans alike." In addition, the Festival supports vegan-themed filmmakers by providing
an avenue to show their films to new audiences, recognizing their passion projects.
The International Vegan Film Festival
The International Vegan Film Festival, an incorporated not-for-profit, is a trailblazing event
dedicated to celebrating the vegan ideal: a healthier, more compassionate, environmentally friendly
lifestyle that can be achieved by consuming plants and animal-free alternatives.
The cost of the ticket includes a vegan dinner. Each purchase will help us continue to create amazing events and bring vegan events like these to San Diego and hopefully around the U.S. We hope to extend this knowledge and compassion to as many as we can.
