This June, Retromania: Down Bad takes over The Vic Theatre with two films exploring the chaotic intensity of being hopelessly in love. Catch Baz Luhrmann’s neon-drenched Romeo + Juliet (1996) on Sunday, June 14, followed by the surreal, eccentric yearning of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love on Sunday, June 28. Join us at 7:30 PM to experience these stylized masterpieces of cinematic obsession on the big screen.
Prepare your vocal cords and leave your "shushing" at the door because Sing-Along At The Vic Theatre is officially turning the cinema into your personal concert hall. We’re kicking things off on Saturday, June 6, with the legendary Funny Girl, where you can channel your inner Barbra and prove that no one is going to rain on your parade, followed by a glitter-drenched blast-off on Saturday, August 8, with Rocketman for all the Elton John fans ready to rock their sequins and platform boots. With lyrics projected right on the screen, themed cocktails flowing, and costumes highly encouraged, it’s the only place in Victoria where singing off-key isn’t just tolerated—it’s celebrated!
This July, Retromania returns to The Vic Theatre with Beyond Obsession, a double-bill curation exploring the darker, wilder, and deeply unhinged corners of human desire. Join us on July 5th at 7:30 PM for Stanley Kubrick’s darkly satirical psychological thriller Lolita (1962), a masterclass in tragic fixation and subversion starring James Mason and Peter Sellers. Then, buckle up on July 26th at 7:30 PM for Andrzej Żuławski’s cult horror masterpiece Possession (1981), featuring a ferociously intense, Cannes-winning performance by Isabelle Adjani that pushes marital collapse into surreal, cosmic terror. Don't miss the chance to experience these gripping tales of fixation on the big screen—grab your favorite concessions and secure your tickets today!
There are many good reasons to have a VFF Membership… but the main one is that you have to. Consumer Protection BC requires you to be a member of the Society showing unrated films – kind of like acknowledging that you want to see our movies, don’t you? Always check the program as not all VFF films are unrated.
Just so you know, you have to be 19 years of age to attend most of the screenings at The Vic Theatre because there will be dragons (okay, really, just local beer and wine). Always check the program as some All Ages shows are also screened.
The Vic Theatre is available for rent for your special event. Perfect for independent screenings, fundraisers, celebrations, presentations and more. We have 213 comfortable theatre seats raked—so every seat has a great sightline—with a 24-foot wide screen, new laser digital projection system, and booming 7.1 Dolby stereo sound.
