SUMMARY:Victoria Film Festival
DESCRIPTION: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. \nVFF 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.
