Hosts
Sparkle Plenty and Diva the Violet Femme
Diva the Violet Femme and Sparkle Plenty are two of the city’s silliest showgirls. Combined, their years of performance experience are old enough to have an overwhelming student loan debt and a job that doesn’t reflect their degree…
These middle-aged, mouthy glamour clowns have entertained crowds from Victoria to Vermont, East Van to Las Vegas. They’ve been asked to host some of this city’s most iconic events including the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival, Talking Stick Festival, Vancouver Queer Film Festival, Vancouver Pride, and look forward to bringing glitz, glamour, and tomfoolery to VIFF Centre for this year’s Oscars!

L'Étranger
Recreating 1940s Algeria in vivid, high contrast black and white cinematography, L'Etranger is erotic, enigmatic and brutal in equal measures, a masterful screen version of Albert Camus's insoluble classic of existential alienation.
