Mouth Congress is a Canadian film, directed by Paul Bellini and Scott Thompson and released in 2021.^[1] Blending both documentary and fictional elements, the film is a portrait of Mouth Congress, the gay punk band Bellini and Thompson formed concurrently with their rise to fame as members of The Kids in the Hall, including historical footage of the band during their original period of activity, scenes from the leadup to a 2016 reunion performance at The Rivoli, and a fictional frame story in which their KITH colleague Kevin McDonald appears as the uncle of a young girl who dreams about the reunion show after he tells her the history of the band as a bedtime story.^[2]

The film had been scheduled to premiere at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival in 2020,^[2] but after the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, it had its premiere at the 2021 festival.^[3]
