Benefit of Submitting

Each and every submission will be watched and will be considered for the festival.

If chosen your film will be screened before the fans in Saskatoon. We may not be the largest festival or have the largest audience but we care about your film and the audience also cares.

We will do everything possible to make the screening a success.

We have a limited budget to assist film makers in traveling to the festival. The festival organizers will work with the film makers to assist in travel costs if at all possible.

    Our locally shot/produced film screened at the 2024 SFFF as an Official Selection and we couldn't be happier with how it went. In spite of tough weather conditions we had a pretty good turnout and an excellent response from those able to attend. The organizers were the best part of the festival. We were able to work with the theatre and make sure that the screening was the best that it could be. The other films that I saw were all impressive and well selected.Thank you SFFF!

  • Amazing festival with great programming for true genre fans. As a filmmaker who couldn't attend the event I always felt well informed and communicating with the team was a breeze. Having our film screened at such a nice venue was an honor. Have your premiere here if you're so lucky to get the chance!

    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!
