This year’s festival runs from March 2nd until the 6th, boasting 19 films, 15 shorts, 5 workshops and 2 parties where you can get up close and personal with the visiting filmmakers and fellow festival goers.  Did I mention that the KCFF includes a generous offering of both francophone and English films?  With ticket packages starting at $30 and all-access passes running a mere $80, there are lots of affordable options to help you enjoy the best of what our locally-run festival has to offer.  Be sure to check out the full list of films below, all of which are linked to synopsis so you can plan your festival experience accordingly.
