About Yorkton Film Festival

The Yorkton Film Festival began in 1947 as the Yorkton Film Council. Thus, making it North America’s longest running film festival. From its inception the festival has gone through many evolutions, however, it continues to be dedicated to the promotion of the best Canadian screen based media content, through our annual film festival and Golden Sheaf Awards competition. In addition to the annual event, the festival is dedicated to the promotion of short film content through our year round screening and tour outreach programs.
