The Yorkton Film Festival has announced a series of summer films to be screened under the arch at the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre. There will be two screenings in July, followed by two screenings in August.
Films Under the Arch starts Wednesday, July 16 at 7:30 pm at the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre with the film, How to Be a Wild Elephant.
"Elephant poaching worldwide has reached epidemic proportions. In Kenya, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust provides a sanctuary for baby elephants who are its greatest victims, left to die without the nurture and protection of their matriarchal herds. In 2010 a baby elephant named Sities was rescued and brought to the Trust's Nairobi Nursery to begin her rehabilitation. Her remarkable story was followed by audiences worldwide who watched her progress from day one. Now three years later we catch up with Sities, who has reached the age where she can be integrated into the wild elephant herds of Tsavo East National Park."
All films are presented free of charge and are open to all. Please bring seating. In event of bad weather, the screening shall be held inside the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre.
Our full summer schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, July 16, How to be a Wild Elephant, Wednesday, July 30, A Dog's Life, Wednesday, August 6, Surviving the Teenage Brain, Wednesday, August 13, Never Ever Do This at Home.
