The Kamloops Film Society is thrilled to announce the launch of a new film committee: The Queer Film Series! The committee consists of allies and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community; from youth, to KFS staff, to community leaders of Kamloops. With this new series you can expect a queer themed movie on the last Friday almost every month–year round.

The committee is dedicated to showing you stories and experiences beyond your own to help connect with different perspectives, celebrate identity, learn about queer history, and showcase some beautiful movies along the way.

The first series will open Friday March 27 @ 7:30 PM with Paris is Burning (1990): a landmark documentary filmed in the 1980s Harlem drag ball scene, focusing on Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities exploring “houses,” voguing, and the fierce competition for trophies, while highlighting the participants’ struggles against poverty, racism, AIDS, and violence.

The series will continue with a screening of the Wachowskis’ Bound (1996) on April 24 @ 7:30 PM

The third film, to be announced, is Friday, May 29.

Kamloops Film Society

The Kamloops Film Society is the umbrella organization that operates the Paramount Theatre and runs two main events: The Thursday Film Series and the annual March Kamloops Film Festival, which includes the Kamloops Independent Short Shorts Festival. The KFS has been operating for over 45 years and was officially incorporated under the BC Societies Act on August 17, 1994. In the spring of 2019, The Kelson Group purchased the Paramount Theatre and leased the venue to the KFS. The support of The Kelson Group and Ron Fawcett has made the venture possible as The KFS continues to make the theatre a cultural venue.
