Upcoming Films

Coming Soon

CAMP!

Seven films. Seven First Fridays. One very committed celebration of cinema at its most gloriously, defiantly, magnificently excessive. Starting September 4, we're screening the films that were too much — too melodramatic, too bizarre, too absolutely unhinged — and became beloved for it. Dismissed by critics, audiences couldn't stop watching. These are the performances that went so far over the top they came out the other side as pure cult.

Dark Matter

Uncover cinema’s hidden gems with Dark Matter: Great Films Overlooked, a brand-new monthly series launching at The Vic Theatre this September! Dedicated to shedding light on underrated masterpieces, forgotten cult classics, and brilliant films that deserved way more spotlight, Dark Matter offers movie lovers a deep dive into the extraordinary corners of film history. Hosted by Victoria film industry insider and critic Christopher Cross, each screening features an expert introduction and post-film discussion to unpack the cinematic craftsmanship behind these neglected treasures. Head to thevic.ca to grab your tickets, gather your fellow film buffs, and join us at The Vic Theatre to rediscover the great movies that history almost forgot!

Retromania: Sun's Out, Gun's Out

Retromania is turning up the heat at The Vic Theatre this August with Retromania: Sun's Out, Gun's Out—a high-octane double feature showcasing two iconic Michael Mann heist classics on the big screen! 🎬🔥 Cool off, grab a drink at our licensed concession, and catch James Caan’s slick safecracking debut in Thief (1981) on August 16th at 7:30 PM, followed by the legendary Pacino vs. De Niro showdown in Heat (1995) on August 30th at 7:30 PM.

Retromania: Nictember

Get ready for a month of unhinged cinematic genius as Retromania returns to The Vic Theatre this September with Retromania: Nictember! Dedicated to bringing iconic classics back to the big screen, Retromania is celebrating the wild, Oscar-winning legend Nicolas Cage with two of his most unforgettable roles. Experience peak romantic Cage alongside Cher in the witty 80s classic Moonstruck on Sunday, September 13th, followed by pure, high-flying 90s action madness in Con Air on Sunday, September 27th. Grab your tickets now, rally your crew, and head to The Vic Theatre to catch the one and only Nic Cage where he belongs—loud, larger-than-life, and on the big screen!

Policies

Membership

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.

19+ Policy

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.
