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

Also Playing

A Cree Approach

Dir. Tristin Greyeyes
80 min

Tristin Greyeyes embarks on a deeply personal journey to understand why Cree was not her first language, unraveling the story of her late grandmother, Freda Ahenakew. An intimate tribute and a call to action for the reclamation of language and identity.

King Arthur's Night

Dir. John Bolton
110 min

John Bolton's film of Niall McNeil and Marcus Youssef's musical staging recreates Camelot at Harrison Hot Springs. It's a self-referential piece which joyfully reframes a classical narrative through the prisms of disability, inclusivity, and imagination.

Whispers in the Woods

Dir. Vincent Munier
94 min

A luxuriant, healing immersion in nature with ravishing wildlife photography, this is the cinematic equivalent of "forest bathing," a trip deep into the Vosges, France, with photographer Vincent Munier (The Velvet Queen), his father and his son.

Short Cuts

Dir. Robert Altman
187 min

Altman's adaptation of Raymond Carver short stories, Short Cuts weaves between 8 or 9 overlapping storylines and 22 characters. it's a teeming, caustic and compassionate human comedy; a singularly astringent, often cynical view of America and Americana.
