It's a sunny Sunday, and we're playing a whole bunch of micro-short films by local artists from Titmouse animation, as part of their 5-Second Day showcase! (the films are AT LEAST 5 seconds long, and are all personal projects of the artists) Family friendly before 9 pm, spicier stuff added at night.

New! We have a late show! 9pm to 5am. Now thru Feb 18, we're featuring 5 sumptuously analogue short films by East Van's own @brittneyappleby.bsky.social .

Our theme this week is Gothic Romance, and this new post-watershed timeslot lets us stretch our legs into places best explored after dark!

Truly, the only reason to build a tiny cinema: tiny seasonal decorations.

Happy Lunar New Year! Thanks to our friends at @vanhack.bsky.social for their help and guidance in putting this show together.

We dedicate this lion dance from Dreadnaught to anyone who looked at the Milk Crate Challenge and thought "Looks like fun!"

I realized that we buried the lede with the cartoons this week... The Marx Brothers' first sound film, Cocoanuts, is now in the public domain, and bits of it are playing at the Vodville.

It warmed my little shit disturber heart to see teenage boys in Andrew Tate's target demographic refusing to be torn away from the Good Neighbours show.

Playing through January 28... our favourite bits from our favourite films from this year's crop of new US public domain films.

Now in the public domain, and playing on the East Van Vodville, The Great Gabbo, by James Cruz, 1929. Pre-code talkie weirdness in all its glory.

Now till Wednesday, we're showing some old films that are perennially relevant.

None of this is new. At the end of the day, there are a limited number of ways to turn neighbour against neighbor. There are, however, infinite ways to love and connect with one another.

We love you, take care.

It's an honour to get to show @jackiedives.bsky.social 's work, and shows like this make me feel like the Vodville is truly fulfilling its purpose to authentically connect and delight real humans. Playing through Satudray, January 18, 2024.

Playing now through Saturday, Jan 18, four absolutely gorgeous short films by @jackiedivesphoto.

Jackie, thank you so much for being out first solo show artist, for your patience and your trust as we figure out this weird little venue, and for producing such gorgeous, eloquent, insightful work. 💖
