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 10:00 am for activities, with the film screening at 11:00 am.
This Month’s Film
The Muppet Christmas Carol brings Dickens’s 1843 novel to life, led by Gonzo as Dickens, Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits, and Sir Michael Caine delivering one of his very finest performances as Ebenezer Scrooge. Through visits from three Christmas ghosts, Scrooge sees the effects of his cruelty on others—and how he must change his ways before it is too late. With memorable and joyful songs, witty Muppet comedy, and a surprisingly faithful telling of the literary classic, it’s a yuletide classic for every generation.
A wonderful festive story, enchantingly told.

This Month’s Activities
Before the film gets started, kids can have fun with puppet crafts and a family photo booth, inspired by the film. A special themed snack pack including candy, small popcorn and small drink, will be available to purchase.
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!
Content considerations: some of the ghost scenes may be scary for young children, we recommend age 7 and up for those seeing it for the first time.

Possible Love
Lee Chang-dong’s first film since Burning (2018) is a sardonic, slow-burning satire about two couples: a documentary filmmaker married to a wealthy businessman, and a working-class family struggling to make ends meet after the husband has been laid off.
Halloween Live! The Crypt Keepers + The Day of the Beast
Amp up your Halloween with a unique live set of holidays cuts from The Crypt Keepers, followed by Alex de la Iglesias's cult comic horror Day of the Beast, a wild ride about a sinful Catholic priest on the warpath against Satan.
Once Upon a Time in Harlem
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.
Get Out
Guess who's coming to dinner? Daniel Kaluuya is the Black boyfriend justifiably anxious about meeting his white girlfriend's folks for the first time in Jordan Peele's satiric modern horror classic, one of a series curated by our VIFF+ Premium members.
