With so much going on, and a plethora of fantastic films to choose from, there’s fun to be had just making your selections.

On January 6th pick up a Program Guide! We've included an Interactive  Program Guide and easier online navigation to help you discover the best new films coming to the Victoria Film Festival.

Make a list of the films you want to see. Use the shopping cart feature online to keep track.

Make the festival more fun and sociable by having drinks with friends. The Program Guide breaks the films into convenient categories and should make for some interesting discussions.

Decide on the access that suits you best. Do you need a Film Pass that gives you spur of the moment access to regular screenings, or would a 5-Film ticket package meet your needs? There are single tickets too, and remember that a VIP pass is all-access to films, the Opening Gala, SpringBoard, ConVerge and much more!

Purchase your Holiday GCs, Membership, Pass and Advance Tickets early! You can do this online, or come on into the Festival Box Office at 1215 Blanshard Street. Don’t forget to purchase your Membership!

Now you’re ready to enjoy the festival and all it has to offer. Meet up with friends at the festival music lounge and check out some great local music. Socialize to get tips about movies that might not have been on your radar.
