Andrea Superstein Sings Burt Bacharach

+ Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery Film Screening

90s, Baby! | VIFF Live

This event has passed

Local hero and Anglophile Mike Myers scored a massive comedy hit with this spot-on spoof of James Bond and his many imitators. Before the yucks, Andrea Superstein treats us to a set of timeless Burt Bacharach tunes.

2025 JUNO Award Nominee Andrea Superstein is one of the most versatile voices in Canadian music today.

Superstein’s dynamic performance style blends powerful vocals with an evocative range, seamlessly shifting from deep blues to bright pop in a single song. Her masterful improvisation and exceptional storytelling pull audiences into an immersive experience that resonates long after the music ends.

These traits make Andrea the perfect singer to bring the music of Burt Bacharach to the VIFF Centre, paired with a special screening of Austin Powers, the 1997 comedy classic that features his music.

Music from 7:00 pm, Austin Powers at 8:15 pm approx (95 min)

A funny movie that only gets funnier.

90s, Baby!

Ten years. 11 weeks. 90 films from the 1990s. This summer, 90’s Baby! takes a deep dive into a defining decade of cinema.

Being John Malkovich

Dir. Spike Jonze
113 min

There's real yearning in this bizarre, mind-bending comedy about voyeurism, sex, and the human desire to play God from writer Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze. You can't get much further out of the box than this.

Lessons of Darkness

Lessons of Darkness

Dir. Werner Herzog
54 min

Werner Herzog's unforgettable documentary reveals the unfolding disaster of the Kuwaitian oil fields in flames in 1991 as a sweeping inferno of mesmerizing power.

Office Space

Dir. Mike Judge
90 min

This razor sharp comedy from Mike Judge (King of the Hill) captures the indignities of life as a wage slave with rare acumen and caustic wit. Evidently the impending millennial bug weighed heavily on people's minds back in 1999.

Beau Travail

Dir. Claire Denis
93 min

Inspired by Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Claire Denis' transfixing Beau Travail is set in East Africa. Sgt Galoup (Denis Lavant) reflects on his time in the French Foreign Legion, and the impact of the handsome Sentain (Gregoire Colin).

Sold Out

Three Kings

Dir. David O Russell
115 min

George Clooney headlines David O Russell's bold, brazen attempt to get to grips with the immediate aftermath of Operation Desert Storm, as 4 US soldiers try to liberate a missing shipment of gold amidst the chaos and carnage.

10 Things I Hate About You

Dir. Gil Junger
97 min

Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles became the thinking teen's heartthrobs with this smart update on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, transposed to a Tacoma, Washington high school.

But I'm a Cheerleader

Dir. Jamie Babbit
85 min

Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is the perfect All-American Girl, or so she thinks. That is until she’s shipped off to conversion therapy. This pitch black comedy is wrapped in a saccharine bow, featuring the icon herself, RuPaul, as a conversion counsellor.

Magnolia

Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
188 min

This deeply personal 1999 California opus is ripe for rediscovery. Mapping the emotional traumas of half-a-dozen major characters as they crisscross the San Fernando Valley in search of either recognition or reconciliation, it's PTA's riskiest gamble.

Election

Dir. Alexander Payne
103 min

Tracy Flick (Reece Witherspoon) is running for Student President, but Mr. McAllister (Matthew Broderick) has other ideas... This remarkably sour millennial comedy from Alexander Payne (The Holdovers; Sideways; The Descendents) hits twice as hard today.

Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai

Dir. Jim Jarmusch
116 min

Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker) is an assassin, but he's also an existential loner who adheres to his personal code. Despite the thriller trappings, this is really a lampoon of that genre, and a melancholy reverie for the cultural melting pot we call home.

The Straight Story

Dir. David Lynch
112 min

David Lynch goes a different direction in this linear Midwestern about a septuagenarian (Richard Farnsworth) who drives nearly 400km on a lawnmower to visit his ailing brother (Harry Dean Stanton).

90s Surprise Film

150 min

The 90s movie we have all been missing... Join us for a celebratory wake for this year's 90s, Baby series! What you will be seeing is top secret (no, not Top Secret!, that was 1984) but it will be at least 26 years old and it will be new to this series.

The Wind Will Carry Us

Dir. Abbas Kiarostami
118 min

Kiarostami's dry comic masterpiece follows a Tehrani film team's thwarted attempts to document a traditional Kurdish funeral... Trouble being, there's no one to bury, and, worse, virtually no cell service...

Fight Club

Dir. David Fincher
139 min

1999 was a very good year for movies, but nothing captured millennial angst quite so vividly as David Fincher's bruising black comedy about what it means to be a man today. This modern classic does everything short of rattling your seat to get a reaction.
