There’s something to be said for star power, especially when it comes to the movies
When: Friday, Feb. 3 to Sunday, Feb. 12
Julianne Moore , Penélope Cruz ; Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver , and Leah Seydoux will all appear on screen during the 10-day event, which gets underway Friday with a gala screening of the Emily Brontë biographical drama, Emily. With 83 feature-length and 26 short films on tap — a total that is up more than 25 per cent from last year — the VFF enters into its 2023 edition on a serious roll. With five venues in play, the downtown core will be busy with film-related activity through Feb. 12.
One of the top draws will be the Feb. 12 Vic Theatre screening of All That Breathes, which is up for best documentary feature at this year’s Academy Awards. The film about two brothers who rescue and treat injured birds won prizes at the 2022 Sundance and Cannes film festivals, and has another eight film festival award nominations pending.
