The Kamloops Film Festival makes it a priority to share the work of filmmakers, especially local filmmakers, as much as possible. If you would like to submit your film to the Kamloops Film Festival, we encourage you to do so, but below are some guidelines you must meet and some information we will need.

Guidelines:

• You must submit your film at least 2 months before the festival
• Please have all permissions for copyright secured before you submit
• The film must be no older than the previous year
• The film must not be out on video or available for download or streaming online, and it must not have been screened publicly in Kamloops
• We pay a flat fee of $100 per screening for any film chosen for the KFF
  • If you feel your film warrants a higher fee, make your case in your submission and the assessment committee will make a decision.
