Capes of Kamloops – Free Movies – The Kamloops Film Society
August 22, 2025
Capes of Kamloops, free public screenings with accompanying podcast interviews shine a spotlight on Kamloops’ unsung heroes – Capes of Kamloops is a video podcast being made with the support of TELUS STORYHIVE, which aims to showcase and celebrate local everyday heroes through the exploration and analysis of film.
Every other Wednesday we will be hosting a FREE PUBLIC SCREENING at the Paramount Theatre to honour a hero profession. We will later host a filmed podcast interview with a local hero from that profession, to reflect on how their work is showcased in the film and learn more about their occupation and its connection to Kamloops.
TELUS STORYHIVE is encouraging attendance and community involvement for this FREE film screening so our local heroes feel celebrated and appreciated by the community, and to have Kamloops enjoy more local cinema.
Doors open at 5:45 PM.

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.
