Keep Community Cinema Thriving in Kamloops
As a non-profit, charitable organization, the Kamloops Film Society (KFS) relies on the generosity of granters, donors, members, and sponsors to sustain year-round programming and preserve our beloved downtown cultural space. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ensure that independent cinema and collaborative cultural events and festivals continue to thrive in Kamloops.
Each year, over 20,000 people pass through the Paramount Theatre — experiencing films, performances, and events that connect, challenge, and inspire.Our mission is to showcase independent, Canadian, and international cinema that reflects a wide range of stories and perspectives. By collaborating with cultural organizations, community partners, and local businesses, we foster a vibrant arts ecosystem that extends beyond the screen.
