Family Dynamics

The 32nd Vintage Film Festival presents a weekend’s worth of movies centered around the theme of Family Dynamics (or: “If you knew my family, you would understand”).

This unusually light-hearted program will include no less than five great comedies from the Thirties, Forties, Fifties and Sixties, two silent comedies, and two ultra-popular musicals (Mary Poppins and Meet Me in St. Louis!) — plus a unique thriller, a sensational gangster film, a remarkable cult classic, and an undisputed member of the “greatest films of all time” club.

Experience live piano accompaniment for our silent films, Buster Keaton’s Our Hospitality and Yasujirō Ozu’s I Was Born, But…, by VFF favourite Jordan Klapman. And the Festival experience also includes the Sunday lunchtime film talk (an on-stage interview with production designer Seamus Flannery), new merchandise and movie banners, the silent auction, free admission for young people 25 and under, and free popcorn all weekend!
