Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival

Last updated

The Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival is an annual film festival, which takes place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. [1] The festival programs an annual line-up of science fiction, horror, fantasy, thriller drama and other genre films. [1]

The festival was launched in 2010 as the Dark Bridges Film Festival, [2] modeled on events such as the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, the After Dark Film Festival in Toronto and the Midnight Madness stream at the Toronto International Film Festival. [3] It changed its name to Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival in 2014, to counter an audience perception that the festival focused solely on horror films. [4] The city's local zombie walk was also staged to occur as part of the event for a few years but it has gone on to become its own event separate from the festival. [4]
