Yorkton Film Festival

Our 2020 Call for Submissions is now open. Choose from eighteen entry categories and up to six accompanying categories to enter your film. All entries are adjudicated by members of the Canadian film industry across the country. All of our submissions are handled through Submittable or FilmFreeway.

The RBC Yorkton Film Festival Mentorship Program is a two ­year initiative designed with the intent of connecting emerging filmmakers with mentors to provide them with a year­long mentorship to help guide their careers into the national film and television arena.

The Yorkton Film Festival showcases the best of short film received from across Canada, giving cultural and community groups, libraries and schools the opportunity to inspire, entertain and educate their audiences.

In addition to our annual festival, YFF offers numerous opportunities to connect great Canadian cinema with audiences. This includes partnership with local and provincial organizations to host regular screenings of films submitted to YFF, a local film club held from October through March, and our Golden Sheaf Awards Tour DVDs.

All of our events are held free of charge and open to all. Check out our events calendar to find out when our next event is being held.

Volunteers are the backbone of YFF. From helping to shuttle delegates to running screening rooms, we didn’t become North America’s longest running festival without a lot of help from our local and surrounding community. If you’d like to be a part of YFF, let us know.
