In February 2012, members of Victoria’s Community Centre Network (CCN) in conjunction with BGC South Vancouver Island (formally Boys & Girls Club of Greater Victoria) launched a film festival contest designed to engage local youth and teens in educating their peers and the wider community about the negative impact of bullying.  Due to the tremendous success of this event and support from local organizations and community partners, the CCN decided to turn this into an annual event. 

In 2019, the festival incorporated a name change in hopes that youth would begin thinking about ways to spread kindness and love both in their film submissions, and in their daily lives. It was changed to Spread the Love Film Festival. The film festival was unable to run due to Covid, but 2023 marked the first year back with an in-person event. It was a great success with video submissions and audience members that watched that evening.
