QuadReal Joins VFF as the 2025 Presenting Sponsor
VAUGHAN, ON – The Vaughan International Film Festival (VFF) is delighted to announce QuadReal Property Group (QuadReal) as the Presenting Sponsor for its 2025 Festival Season, running from June 16 to 19, 2025. This year’s festival will feature screenings at The Studios at Assembly Park, culminating in the glamorous VFF Awards at the Terrace Event Venue.
VFF and QuadReal share a profound commitment to enriching communities through culture, creativity, and connection. This partnership embodies the spirit of both organizations: VFF’s dedication to showcasing the best in international short films and QuadReal’s focus on creating vibrant, sustainable communities. Together, they are building a foundation where film and culture can thrive in Vaughan and beyond.
QuadReal’s unwavering support has been instrumental to VFF’s growth and resilience. During the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, when VFF pivoted to a drive-in format, QuadReal’s partnership ensured the festival’s continuity and its ability to bring world-class cinema to the Vaughan community. Without their support, the festival’s future could have been severely impacted.
“As we prepare for our 2025 season, we’re inspired by the enduring relationship we’ve built with QuadReal Property Group,” said Co-Founder and Director of Sponsorship & Events, Antonio Ienco. “Their belief in our mission underscores the powerful connection between the arts and community, and we are immensely grateful for their support as our Presenting Sponsor.”
“At QuadReal, we are in the business of building communities, and we believe in the power of storytelling to inspire, connect, and transform spaces,” said Jay Claggett, Senior Vice President of Development at QuadReal. “We are excited to continue our partnership with the Vaughan International Film Festival this year as presenting sponsor, welcoming emerging and established filmmakers and community members to Assembly Park to experience creativity and art in action.”
VFF’s 2025 Festival Lineup will be revealed on March 20, 2025, during the Vaughan Summer Lineup event, co-hosted with Tourism Vaughan at The Studios at Assembly Park, where tickets for the festival will also go on sale.About Vaughan International Film Festival
