The Yorkton Film Festival is proud to announce the continuation of our OPEN Cinema program for the 2014 - 2015 Screening Year.
Join us, and long-time YFF supporter and film aficionado Elwyn Vermette, at the Yorkton Public Library as we open up the film vaults and bring out some of the best.
It's movie night! It's free. It's fun. 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! Jingle Bell Rocks! 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 & music writer Bill Adler, Chicago rock promoter Andy Cirzan and LA Water Works laborer 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.
Equal parts social history, pop culture pilgrimage and revealing character study, Jingle Bell Rocks! follows this motley crew of merry misfits as they confront the Christmas music mainstream, reinventing the seasonal soundtrack for the 21st century.
Join us for an evening of film and discussion on Tuesday, December 2 at the Yorkton Public Library at 7:00 p.m.
The Yorkton Film Festival is slated for May 21 - 24, 2015. Come join us for film, food and fun as we continue the traditions of the longest running film festival in North America.
