KISS Fest – Free Screenings

Sunday March 8th, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm | Paramount Theatre

The KISS Film Fest is a celebration of the short film format and local filmmakers.

The Kamloops Film Society has been encouraging local filmmakers through the KISS Festival for a number of years. Talented local directors and the audience are annually treated to the excitement of seeing the 5 minute long (or shorter) films on the big screen at the Paramount Theatre as part of the Kamloops Film Festival held in March. Cash prizes for winners are awarded by the KISS Committee, the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission, and the Kamloops Arts Council.

This event is our way of celebrating the hard work and passion of our regional talent. Come support these films and filmmakers from our community by attending the FREE screenings. Plus, you’re the judge! Vote for your favorite films.

Prizes will be awarded by the KISS Jury, assembled by the Kamloops Film Society, with the exception of the Audience Award in each category, which will be voted on by the attendees; and the TNFC Lottery Prize, which will be drawn randomly. Award sponsors include The Thompson Nicola Film Commission and the Kamloops Arts Council. If you enter your film for consideration for the Youth Prize, but the Jury awards you one of the 1st to 3rd prizes, you may be disqualified from winning the Youth Prize. Please contact us at [email protected] should you have any questions about your eligibility.
