We’re thrilled to announce the release of 70 Years at the Paramount Theatre, a short documentary by Kamloops Independent Short Shorts (KISS) alumna Kora Vanderlip. This heartfelt film dives into the rich history of the iconic Paramount Theatre, told through the personal stories of those who’ve experienced its magic over the past seven decades.

From cherished memories and behind-the-scenes moments to the theatre’s evolving role in the community, Kora’s film brings the Paramount’s legacy to life in a way that’s both intimate and inspiring.

Whether you’re a longtime patron or discovering the Paramount for the first time, this beautifully crafted documentary is a must-watch.

Help the Paramount thrive for generations to come. Join us at a screening, support as a KFS member or volunteer, or make a tax-deductible donation.

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.
