Vancouver Island’s largest and longest-standing film festival, the Victoria Film Festival returns next month.

The Victoria Film Festival embodies the spirit of the cinematic arts on Vancouver Island. We worship cult films, practice wine & beer sacrifices, offer a ritual of initiation for emerging filmmakers, and bring unique artistic voices from Canada and around the world to local screens.
VFF is open to all forms of creative media, but it is deathly allergic to clichés. Every February, we roust hibernating Victorians and islanders, roll out the pink carpet for the sheer glam of it, and throw a 10-day film festival across the city.
The festival runs from 6 February 2026 through to 15 February 2026 and features 91 feature films and 39 short films from across Canada and around the world.
The excitement continues on February 8 at 7:45 p.m., when Rohit Joseph joins Zacharias Kunuk at the Vic Theatre for an exclusive conversation about his latest film,Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband).
To explore everything the festival has to offer on screen and beyond the cinema seat, visit victoriafilmfestival.com for the full program and tickets.
