Last night, the Vancouver Club was filled with film directors, producers, actors, fans and media alike for the 32nd Annual Vancouver International Film Festival opening gala.

The posh and historic Vancouver Club was the perfect venue to greet the guests, many dressed in the night’s chosen theme attire: steampunk.
Here’s a look at some of the merry moments that packed three rooms of the club last night. More photos can be found on my 2013 VIFF Opening Gala Flickr set.
