The Kamloops Film Society (KFS) is the umbrella organization that operates the Paramount Theatre and the Twin Rivers Drive-In, and runs two main events: The Thursday Film Series and the annual March Kamloops Film Festival (KFF), which includes the Kamloops Independent Short Shorts (KISS) Fest. The KFS has been operating for over 45 years and was officially incorporated under the British Columbia Societies Act on August 17, 1994. In the spring of 2019, The Kelson Group purchased the Paramount Theatre from Landmark Cinemas and leased the venue to the KFS to continue operations.
