The programming listed on the following Wpages is the result of 364 days of hard work from our dedicated staff, Board, community, and amazing volunteers. Truth be told, as you read this, we’ve already started work for 2016! Our programming team has assembled a diverse selection of the year’s best: Hollywood tales, music docs, Cannes favourites, award winners and world premieres. Vintage snapshots of Kingston in the ‘50s and animated kids’ films less than a day old! India’s monsoons, villains in pig masks, and hockey in Kingston. We truly have it all this year. We’ve broadened our horizons to include multidisciplinary workshops covering interactive gaming, photography, and music, whether on a high budget, low budget, or no budget. KCFF now has 21 feature films, 74 short films, 15 workshops, three awards, an assortment of concerts, receptions, and more special guests than ever! However, all this “new” is complemented by the core programming that has successfully led us to our 15th anniversary year. As usual, you can scope out a new career path during the Breaking In workshop, network at the Filmmakers’ Reception, meet emerging directors, old friends, and of course, enjoy some awesome Canadian cinema.

    H-Film CFP: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen (6/1/16; 10/26-30/16) Discussion published by Cynthia Miller on Friday, March 18, 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS CFP: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen An area of multiple panels for the 2016 Film & History Conference: Gods and Heretics: Figures of Power and Subversion in Film and Television October 26-October 30, 2016 The Milwaukee Hilton Milwaukee, WI (USA) DEADLINE for abstracts: June 1, 2016 AREA: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen Despite Judaism’s commandment against making graven images of God, films representing Jewish faith in God—or doubt in the face of collective and personal catastrophes and competing worldviews—have abounded from the advent of the movie industry. Since God cannot be visualized, movies must rely on depictions of an omnipotent historical and moral force, or a source of belief compelling Jews to endure martyrdom, persecution, and segregation, and to observe Jewish law and rituals. Motion pictures about how God informs modern Jewish lives have become more varied with the emergence of Jewish denominationalism and secular ideologies, like socialism or Zionism, often pitting factions within the Jewish community against each other. This area welcomes papers and panels that explore how Jewish belief and disbelief in God are constructed by filmmakers in documentaries and feature movies. The following themes are suggestions and should not be construed as the only topics that would fit in this area: The portrayal of Judaism in documentaries: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (1984), A Life Apart (1997), and The Story of the Jews (2013).
