- Emilia Pérez — VIFF’s highly anticipated closing gala, “it is a one-of-a-kind thriller that will leave you shocked and singing throughout.” — Rotten Tomatoes

- Nightbitch — Comedy for women. Horror film for men. A must-see.
- The Seed of the Sacred Fig — “In a sense, Sacred Fig is a home invasion movie in which the family’s sanctity, and ultimately its physical safety, is threatened by outside forces tearing them apart from the inside as well.” — Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

Eephus
Oct 6
Dir. Carson Lund

Pavements
Oct 6
Dir. Alex Ross Perry
Country of Origin: USA
“Pavements is a joyous, slyly subversive celebration… The goofy, sweetly cerebral charm of a subtly strange band is captured in this ingenious tribute.” — Jonathan Romney, Screen

Evocative of early Guillermo del Toro, this magical realist fable pairs a fantastical atmosphere with mature themes of real-world subjugation.
Now Playing
Christmas Eve in Miller's Point
There’s no place like home for the holidays and the extended Balsano family gathers to celebrate Christmas Eve together for perhaps the last time. A warmly humorous yuletide rhapsody, this captures the Christmas spirit and puts a bow on it.
Ninan Auassat: We, the Children
Shot over six years, this groundbreaking documentary brings us the moving stories of three groups of youth from three different Indigenous nations. With no adult voices included in the film, we meet a new generation with a burning desire to be heard.
Armand
When six-year-old Armand is accused of abusing another boy, his mother is called in for a school meeting. With the boys themselves never seen or heard from, it becomes clear that this sordid situation is about much more than just the children.
Rafiki
Bursting with the colorful style & music of Nairobi’s vibrant youth culture, this exuberant and audacious movie is a tender love story between two young women in a country that still criminalizes homosexuality.
Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts
In the deserted hills of an Indonesian island, a young widow is raped and robbed. In defending herself, Marlina kills several of the attacking gang, then sets out to find justice. Surya's spectacular revenge movie coopts western tropes to feminist ends.
