2018 Second Round Nominees
The Yorkton Film Festival is proud to announce the nominees for Digital Media, Director Fiction, Director Non-Fiction. Adjudication for Research is still wrapping up and the nominations will be announced next week.
In addition to the second round nominees, YFF has also made some changes to the Founders’ Award and Kathleen Shannon Award categories. Under recommendation from this year’s jury heads, the festival will now announce nominees in these categories; previously, only the winner of these awards was revealed at the Golden Sheaf Awards Gala.
Best of Fest will also declare nominees this year. As all nominees are exclusively films that win another category, they will not be announced until the awards ceremony.
