“National Canadian Film Day is a great opportunity for Canadians to celebrate films that have been created and filmed throughout our great country.” Said Yorkton Film Festival Executive Director Randy Goulden.

“Part of our festival’s mandate has always been about connecting Canadian films with Canadian audiences, so we’re very proud to be one of four Saskatchewan locations celebrating National Canadian Film Day.” Goulden added.

National Canadian Film Day takes place on Wednesday, April 29; there are over 140 screenings occurring across Canada, with four taking place here in Saskatchewan.
