In Barry Lyndon, visionary director Stanley Kubrick crafts a ravishing tale of ambition, romance, and ruin. Ryan O’Neal’s cunning adventurer claws his way through war and high society. The 1975 historical drama took home four Academy Awards.
What happens when a grown man moves back home to solve his midlife crisis? Albert Brooks delivers a comedic gem about a son seeking answers from the one woman he can’t escape. Brooks and Debbie Reynolds perfectly capture the hilarious tension of family life.
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 May, our Retromania series takes a haunting dive into the ethereal and the troubled with "Girls Aren't Alright," a double feature exploring the darker side of suburban youth. The descent begins on May 3rd at 7:30 pm with David Lynch’s surreal masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, capturing the neon-soaked nightmares and final days of Laura Palmer. The journey into teenage angst continues on May 17th at 7:30 pm with Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut, The Virgin Suicides, wrapping the tragic isolation of the Lisbon sisters in a hazy, dreamlike 1970s aesthetic. Join us at The Vic Theatre for these two cult classics that prove growing up is rarely as picture-perfect as it seems.
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.
