Kingston Canadian Film Festival – March 3-13
The Kingston Canadian Film Festival (KCFF) has released its 2022 lineup, presenting its first ever “hybrid model” consisting of both in-person and digital screenings. KCFF22 will run March 3-13, with the in-person screenings taking place March 3-5. As the globe’s largest all-Canadian film festival, organizers at KCFF are once again excited for the opportunity to delight not only Kingston audiences, but also viewers across the country and the world.
KCFF’s in-person component will offer 8 feature screenings in venues operating at 50% capacity. All other screenings and events will be hosted on the KCFF digital platform, which welcomed viewers from nearly all continents last season. Nearly all films (in-person and online) will be accompanied by a post-show Q&A with a filmmaker/cast member.
All screenings have limited tickets which are on sale now at kingcanfilmfest.com. For anyone interested in six or more digital films, festival passes are available starting at $78. Single tickets start at $13.50. For more information, contact KCFF at info@kingcanfilmfest.com or 613-777-0161.
