​
Vic’s Flicks is a not-for-profit organization. Its aim is to bring the Classic Movies of the Golden Age of Hollywood to special groups of people and it does this free of charge. Vic’s Flicks aim is to assists Life Style Co-coordinators and Careers at aged care services, nursing homes and other community organizations to present these classic movies on a big screen. It does this by loaning free of charge its services, it's fully tested equipment and it's very large movie collection.
​
Our audiences are mainly the elderly and others who can appreciate and who deserve to enjoy these great old movies. We do not show movies to the general public. Please note that the responsibility for showing the movies and the welfare of audiences lies with the facility/organization where the movie is being shown and the appropriate level of staff must be provided at all times.
​
Movies from America, England and Australia make up the bulk of our collection. The Golden Age of Hollywood has produced some great classic movies. We have a large range of movies across all genres from Action and Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Film Noir, Horror, Musical, Sci-Fi, and Western to Romance. All movies have been donated or purchased in Australia or overseas. Some are rare classics and some were purchased as a VHS and converted to DVD for easy showing. The collection also includes some silent movies. We are continuously adding to our collection so if anyone would like to donate old movies that are in good order please let us know.
The movies shown at Westgate Flicks are shown on an 8ft (approx 2.4 mts) screen so if you intend to donate any, the quality needs to be good.
There are not many theatres that show these classic movies anymore. Vic’s Flicks brings Hollywood to the Community! That's our aim and that is our passion.

It was anticipated through discussions, publications, celebrations, programs and activities would evolve. Additionally, DBSV is also committed to supporting women in Nepal in the area of health and wellbeing.

We are proud to support the
Down syndrome community
activity:
e.motion21.
​
This activity is run by the
Inclusion Foundation at venues across Melbourne and occurs
in the Pascoe Vale area in the gymnasium at our Cumberland Road church
​
For further details contact the Inclusion Foundation by clicking on the link below:
​
Moving towards an inclusive future for people with Down syndrome, a mother saw first hand the devastating impacts of not being included.
Back in 2009, her then-6 year old daughter, who was born with Down syndrome, was unable to be included in the local dance school.
She then started a single dance class which grew to become e.motion21 as we now know it, incorporating general well-being and fitness whilst tackling broader issues often faced by people with Down syndrome.
The e.motion21 activity is run in the Pascoe Vale South Uniting Church gymnasium on Wednesdays and Saturdays - contact the Inclusion Foundation for further details and class times.
