Join us for VIFF Kids Club — our monthly family matinee series with film-inspired crafts and special concession snacks before the show! Doors open at 11:00 am for activities, with the film screening at 12:00 pm.

This Month’s Film
A tap-dancing penguin named Mumble can’t sing like the others, but his unique talent may save his colony. Happy Feet is a vibrant, music-filled adventure that celebrates individuality, courage, friendship, and the power of staying true to yourself, and a perfect icy break this summer!

This Month’s Activities
Before the film gets started, kids will have the opportunity to create penguin-themed crafts, inspired by the film.

Please note: VIFF Kids Club is designed for families to attend together. Adults can only attend if they’re bringing a child, and children can only attend if accompanied by an adult

Does your family have a film idea for Kids Club? Let our staff know after the movie, or submit your idea online!

Once Upon a Time in Harlem

Dir. William Greaves, David Greaves

Once Upon a Time in Harlem splices together footage shot by William Greaves in 1972 of a group of Harlem Renaissance luminaries in conversation at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The film is a living archive of memory, disagreement, style, and Black genius.
