OUR VENUE

We're excited to announce that Valkyrie International Film Festival 2026 will be held at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center (aka Hallwalls)! Located in downtown Buffalo, Hallwalls is within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and cafes. A non-profit art organization, Hallwalls has shown and shows the work of contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds who work in film, video, literature, music, performance, media and the visual arts. The ideology behind Hallwalls has always been: "Hallwalls provides direct access to developing ideas in Art for Western New York and Southern Ontario. This is accomplished through exhibitions, a visiting Artist/Critic program, and correspondence with other organizations involved with recent art in the United States, Canada and Europe." Our vision for VIFF is highly compatible with that of Hallwalls, and visiting filmmakers and attending patrons alike will appreciate the intimate screening space (seating up to 80 people) located below the main art gallery!
