Vancouver International Film Center, Vancouver

The Vancouver International Film Centre serves as a cinema located in Vancouver. It encompasses the Vancity Theatre, a 175-seat venue, the Studio Theatre, accommodating 41 seats, and also serves as the headquarters for the Vancouver International Film Festival. Situated on Seymour Street in downtown Vancouver, this venue is versatile, suitable for seminars, live performances, films, videos, and multimedia presentations.

The architectural creation, meticulously designed by Hewitt and Kwasnicky Architects, was unveiled in September 2005, perfectly timed for the commencement of the 2005 Vancouver International Film Festival. During that very year, the Vancity Theatre launched its continuous repertory cinema programming throughout the year. The theater is aptly named after the Vancity credit union, which sponsors it.

In the years 2019 to 2020, the venue underwent significant renovations, which were successfully completed in time for the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival. These renovations included the addition of the 41-seat Studio Theatre to accommodate smaller audiences, the incorporation of a new media lab for presenting new media and virtual reality projects, the introduction of an education suite, and the installation of a video wall in the atrium of the complex.

An additional notable event that takes place within the Vancity Theatre is the annual Game Design Expo, hosted by Vancouver Film School's Game Design program.
