Fright Fest

This October, Retromania: Fright Fest takes over The Vic Theatre with five of the most terrifying, blood-curdling horror masterpieces in cinematic history. Dive headfirst into the lunar-shuddering chaos of An American Werewolf in London (Oct 4), witness the skin-crawling bodily transformation of The Fly (Oct 11), and drown in the hyper-saturated, nightmare-logic technicolor dread of Suspiria (Oct 18). The terror deepens as we descend into the demonic possession of The Exorcist: Director's Cut (Oct 25), culminating on Halloween night with the ultimate slasher blueprint, John Carpenter’s Halloween (Oct 31). Experience these legendary horror classics back on the big screen where they belong—if you dare!

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!

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.

Retromania: NEONvember

This November, Retromania: Neonvember takes over The Vic Theatre with two of the most stylish, pulse-pounding crime thrillers of the 1980s. Dive into the high-octane Los Angeles heat with William Friedkin's gritty masterpiece To Live and Die in L.A., and step into the haunting, electric shadows of Michael Mann's legendary Manhunter in a stunning new 4K restoration. Experience these retro classics on the big screen the way they were meant to be witnessed.!

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.
