    I loved this festival. John and his team bent over backwards to welcome us and the film selections, both local and international, were amazing. I was blown away when they put my name and my film RETURN TO KELLOGG up on the marquee board the day it screened. Saskatoon is a small town with a HUGE heart, and John does an amazing job running it!

    A great festival in a beautiful city with amazing staff. Great atmosphere and selection overall. They really care about the films and the filmmakers. They made us feel incredibly welcome. We were fortunate to have our film accepted and shown at this festival and can report we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The films were shown in a lovely theatre run by local and friendly staff.

    We strongly recommend this festival.

    Response from festival:

    Thank you for your kind words. We aren't the biggest festival but our focus has always been to connect interesting films with the Saskatoon audience and it was great to show your short film up on the big screen.
