Happy Pi Day everyone! We're bringing back an audience favourite

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!

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.

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 in the public domain, and playing on the Vodville: Wild Waves, 1929, by Walt Disney.

Now Playing at the East Van Vodville Cinema: some film moments that feel especially relevant right now.

Respect to Benjamin Jackson at the #penthouse.

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