A Festival Like No Other

Nestled in the heart of Victoria, the Victoria Film Festival embodies the vibrant spirit of cinematic arts on Vancouver Island. This isn’t your average film festival—VFF is a place where cult films are celebrated, emerging filmmakers are nurtured, and the love of film is shared with a community that’s as passionate as it is quirky.

The Festival’s Unique Character

The official website proudly declares, “WE’RE OBSESSED WITH FILM AND WANT YOU TO BE TOO!” This enthusiasm is evident in every aspect of the festival, from its eclectic film selections to its tongue-in-cheek references (think “wine & beer sacrifices” and a playful nod to the ritualistic spirit of film fandom). Whether you’re drawn by the promise of cult classics or the excitement of discovering new talent, VFF offers a distinctive experience that stands apart from other festivals.
