The Victoria Film Festival embodies the spirit of the cinematic arts on Vancouver Island. We worship cult films, practice wine & beer sacrifices, offer a ritual of initiation for emerging filmmakers, and bring unique artistic voices from Canada and around the world to local screens.

Retromania: Pride
Retromania Presents: Pride on Screen!
Get ready to sashay down to The Vic Theatre for a fabulous celebration of Pride Month with Retromania's special film series! We're turning up the volume and bringing you three iconic films that push boundaries and celebrate individuality.
First up, it's a John Waters Double Feature Extravaganza! Dive into the delightfully decadent world of the "Pope of Trash" with his cult classics: the big, bouncy, and beautiful Hairspray (1988), followed by the outrageously unforgettable Pink Flamingos. See them both and save some cash with our special double feature promo tickets!
And the cinematic party doesn't stop there! We're also screening David Lynch's mind-bending masterpiece, Mulholland Drive, a neo-noir mystery that's as captivating as it is complex.
So grab your friends, get your popcorn ready, and join us at The Vic for a riotous romp through some of cinema's most legendary LGBTQ+ adjacent films. It's going to be a wild ride!
Like the crew on the Starship Enterprise, we go boldly where no one has gone before: Cocktail quaffing, Beer & Film, Bond & Martini, Outdoor Movies. We’ve brought you the Jello hypodermic, Pin the Tail on the XXX, hugs from a Wookie, and Quote-Along Blues Brothers with John Landis. ‘Nuff said.
