Join the Yorkton Film Festival and long-time YFF supporter and film aficionado Elwyn Vermette, at the Yorkton Public Library as they open up the film vaults and bring out some of the best. Everyone is welcome.
It's time to get into the Christmas spirit, and YFF will help spread a little Christmas Cheer by hosting a screening of 2014 Best of Festival winner Jingle Bell Rocks! The documentary follows Christmas music junkie Mitchell Kezin as he unveils twelve of his most cherished, alternative Christmas songs. Hitting the road to uncover the stories inside the grooves, Mitchell hangs with his holiday heroes-musicians, deejays, record execs, radio hosts, composers, critics and fellow collectors-who share his passion. NYC's hip hop archivist and music writer Bill Adler, Chicago rock promoter Andy Cirzan and LA Water Works labourer Tim Sewell are three of the world's legendary Christmas music fanatics who will open up their hearts and their astonishing collections.
Through rollicking live performances, intimate interviews and a kaleidoscope of touching and kooky archive, we'll journey deep into the Christmas cosmos, uncovering the remarkable stories behind twelve of the weirdest, wildest, most poignant Christmas songs you've never heard.
Join YFF for an evening of film and discussion on Tuesday, December 2 at the Yorkton Public Library at 7 p.m.
