Bringing the world to Kamloops through film, diverse programming and screen-based events at the Paramount Theatre.

The Kamloops Film Society (KFS), originally the Cariboo College Film Society, was formed in 1973, and currently operates the Paramount Theatre and the Twin Rivers Drive-In. In 2021 the KFS bought the MovieMart operations and continues to rent videos to the public. The KFS is responsible for events such as the Thursday Film Series, the Indigenous Film Festival (in partnership with Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc) and the annual March Kamloops Film Festival (KFF), which includes the Kamloops Independent Short Shorts (KISS) Festival. Our mission is to provide publicly screened, hand-picked, diverse, high-quality films. To show the best in independent, Canadian and foreign cinema in Kamloops. As well, the Society endeavours to promote and support filmmaking and related visual media in the Kamloops area by offering grants periodically throughout each year when able to do so.

A new South Korean science-fiction film from writer/director Na Hong-jin, ‘Hope‘.👣🚓

In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community.🚨

“One of the most expensive Korean films ever made, this epic sci-fi begins as a “breathless rollercoaster ride” and mashes up The Terminator, Predator, Aliens and Avatar.” BBC⭐️

💬 All ‘Cinema Passport’ screenings will have original audio with English subtitles.

‘Silence of the Lambs’ is gracing our Paramount screens for its 35th anniversary.🐑

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI’s training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.🩸

The Cinema Passport presents ‘Hope’, Hong-jin’s sci-fi monster epic.🚨

In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.🚓👣

“It’s bold, provocative, and assured filmmaking that oscillates between moments of breathtaking cinematic prowess and satirical characterizations, whose coy rendering turns a mirror toward those who unconsciously lap up hollow action heroes when the far more intriguing story exists in plain sight.” ROGER EBERT⭐

💬 All ‘Cinema Passport’ screenings will have original audio with English subtitles.

Director Sean Menard’s ‘Run Terry Run’ is a masterclass on how to properly build a documentary around archival footage, see it on the Paramount screens!🎞️🏃

The extraordinary story of Canadian icon Terry Fox will be told like never before in Run Terry Run, a new feature-length documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sean Menard. The film offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at Terry’s legendary 1980 Marathon of Hope, drawing from 96 reels of never-before-seen footage and unheard audio interviews that have remained untouched for 45 years.🎥

“Films like ‘Run Terry Run’ are not just important but essential, reframing memory as an act of resistance to the relentless barrage of (often falsified and incomplete) information that makes up our doomscrolling sessions. What we see on-screen reminds us of the importance of bearing witness, yes. But it also reminds us that once we shape our world to our liking, we stop asking it any more questions.” ROGER EBERT⭐
