Feast Food & Film Membership Guide

Welcome to Feast: Food & Film, a special Victoria celebration where memorable cinema meets outstanding local food and drink. Hosted as part of the spirit of the Victoria Film Festival, Feast brings audiences together at The Vic Theatre, 808 Douglas St for evenings built around screenings, curated menus, and the pleasure of sharing both with fellow guests. If you are planning to attend one or more events, membership is an important part of the experience.

Some Feast screenings are marked Membership Required. This means that a valid festival membership may be needed in order to purchase a ticket or attend that event. Membership helps support the broader festival community and connects guests to the official programming structure of the event. Because Feast is presented as a festival series rather than a regular cinema schedule, membership is part of how access is organized for selected screenings and special presentations.

Why membership matters

Feast is not simply a movie night and not only a dining event. Each program is designed as a pairing: a film screening is matched with a themed culinary offering that may include dishes, desserts, cocktails, spirits, wine, or other local specialties. Event pages often include film details such as director, country, year, runtime, and synopsis, alongside a dedicated Menu section featuring chefs, bakeries, distilleries, restaurants, and food partners. Membership supports this festival model and helps maintain the unique character of the series.

Membership is especially useful for guests who want to enjoy multiple evenings during the program. Past lineups have included titles such as Fermented, Michelin Stars: Tales from The Kitchen, The Goddesses of Food, Scotch – A Golden Dream, Chef Flynn, and New Chefs on The Block. Each screening has its own atmosphere, menu concept, and ticket status, so being prepared with the required membership can make planning easier.

Before you book

Please review the event listing carefully before purchasing tickets. Feast pages may display notices such as SOLD OUT, ticket pricing, BOOK NOW links, age restrictions like 19+ event, and membership requirements. Not every screening is identical, and food pairings, beverage service, and admission conditions can vary from one night to another. We recommend checking the full event page for the most accurate details before making your selection.

If you are attending with friends or guests, make sure each person understands the requirements attached to the event. For membership-required screenings, having your membership arranged in advance can help avoid delays and disappointment, especially for popular programs with limited seating. Feast events are designed as intimate festival experiences, and availability may change quickly.

What to expect from a Feast event

A Feast evening is built around discovery. You may arrive for a documentary or feature connected to food culture, chefs, ingredients, restaurants, or drink traditions, and find that the screening is complemented by a menu inspired by the story on screen. Local culinary collaborators are a central part of the event, making each night feel rooted in Victoria’s food community while still connected to international film culture.

Whether you are a returning festival guest or joining us for the first time, membership helps place you inside that shared experience. It is one more step toward an evening of film, conversation, and carefully chosen flavours.
