Vancity Theatre – VIFF Centre

Beautiful theatre. Seen some great movies here, and have felt very safe during covid.

Good movies theater. It's also very comfortable even before the show starts; it makes me wonder why aren't more theater like this.

The centerpiece of the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), this is a really nice and comfortable theatre that shows a lot of interesting indie and foreign films from all over the world. One needs a $2 membership on top of the ticket, but that is because a lot of films shown here are not yet rated, and this is the only way to circumvent the requirement if it becomes a member only society. While the seats are comfortable, the price of the tickets are actually quite reasonable for the quality of the movie and the popcorn is actually quite decent, it is quite small, so seats are limited.

Great old new theatre. Big plush velvety seats, a balcony... A bar. They also have popcorn. What more could you want?

We go there regularly and always have a good experience. You can see films that are not widely released and differ from the typical Hollywood formula. Wine and beer are available as well as baked goods and the usual movie theatre treats.
