As a non-profit cultural organization, Kelowna Film Society has applied for and been granted an exemption under section 4 of the Motion Picture Act. This exemption allows us to screen films which have not yet been classified by Consumer Protection BC.  Kelowna Film Society is responsible for operating in compliance with the Motion Picture Act and Consumer Protection BC. To attend a Kelowna Film Society film screening (which may not have been classified by Consumer Protection BC), you must be a Kelowna Film Society member.  Your membership is included in the ticket price.The Kelowna Film Society’s past seasons of great cinema have drawn local film fanciers since 2007.  The prestigious Toronto International Film Festival has been the society’s main source of powerful releases from the world of cinema, including foreign language offerings, Canadian films, hard-to-find independent films, quality documentaries, as well as crowd-pleasing comedies, dramas and the occasional block-buster. Helped by many loyal volunteers, the staff of the Orchard Plaza Cineplex, 1876 Cooper Road, Kelowna, and the financial support of discriminating and loyal patrons, the society has supported local film students and film makers with grants, bursaries and other assistance totalling more than $30,000.

JULES  – Everything changes when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard.

Kelowna Film Society Fall 2023 Season

Kelowna Film Society is planning to present 9 interesting films that you will not see in the regular theater lineup for the Fall 2023 Season.  Some films are in another language with subtitles.  Some films are unrated.

Jules follows Milton (Ben Kingsley) who lives a quiet, very routine life in a rural Pennsylvania town. One day everything changes when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls "Jules." Things become complicated when his two neighbours (Harriet Sansom Harris and Jane Curtin) discover Jules. And soon the government gets involved. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbours find meaning and connection later in life -- thanks to this unlikely stranger. Jules accomplishes what few current films do: a sweet, simple sense of wonder.It's less a sci-fi parable... than a fairy tale reminding us that the tribulations of getting old are more natural than sad, and best done in the company of loved ones. Michael O’Sullivan: Washington Post (English, 1 hour 27 minutes)
