Have you made a feature or short film that just does not fit into the mainstream multiplex theatre? If you have and if your film has not screened in Saskatoon then you should be sending it in for submission as soon as possible. While not a straight up genre festival we do have a genre bent to the films which will be selected. We like to feel that we are a cross between a straight up genre festival and an underground film festival.
The 12th Annual Film Festival is an in person festival run at the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. The current dates for the festival are November 22nd to 27th. This may be adjusted due to COVID restrictions.
Please note we tend to not screen experimental films.
Submissions are only accepted through FilmFreeway.com.
Short Films must be under 20 minutes in length.
Feature Films must be over 60 minutes in length.
