Yorkton Film Festival

The first round of our 2018 GSA nominations have been released. Digital Media and Craft Awards will be announced mid-April.

The Yorkton Film Festival is proud commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary by looking at the diversity that has built this country to the multicultural society we know and love today through through a youth film competition and showcase and several youth film workshops.

The RBC Yorkton Film Festival Mentorship Program is a three ­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.
