The Kamloops Film Society’s 2018 Fall Series set an attendance record, with more than 2,000 film buffs watching the 10 movies at the Paramount Theatre downtown.
No screening had less than 100 people in attendance, with The Wife having the highest turnout at 340.
The series included two special events, one for The Cleaners (Brian Lamb from Thompson Rivers University spoke at the downtown library before the film) and one for Mandy (the Kamloops Film Society partnered with the Drunk in a Graveyard podcast for prizes).
Based on voting cards that attendees scored after each film, the Audience Award for favourite film went to The Wife, with an averaged score of 8.88 out of 10.
