The Secret in Their Eyes
This month's Talking Pictures screening is a multi-layered, poignant thriller interweaving the personal lives of a prosecution investigator (Ricardo Darin) and a judge, with a manhunt spanning twenty-five years. Stay for cookies, coffee and a chat after!
American Doctor
One of the most powerful documentaries of the year, this puts us smack in the open wound that is Gaza, filtered through the eyes of three American surgeons (of Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian backgrounds) compelled to do their utmost to alleviate harm.
90s, Baby!
Jun 19 – Aug 31
Ten years. 11 weeks. 90 films from the 1990s.
This summer VIFF takes a deep dive into a defining decade for the movies. The 1990s was a period of exciting innovation and increasing diversity. Our series proceeds chronologically through the summer — one week = one year.
90s, Baby! maps out the arc of the decade, hitting the most important cinematic landmarks, from blockbusters and milestone films to smaller cult films that continue to inspire and provoke.
Talking Pictures
Created for film lovers 55+ (but open to anyone), the Talking Pictures series offers films, refreshments and an open invitation to chat about our shared experience of the movie.
Tickets are just $12. Bring a buddy and get two for $20!
