YORKTON - The Yorkton Film Festival has announced that after a two-year hiatus, its OPEN Cinema screening program is returning for 2022 – 2023.

OPEN Cinema celebrates some of the best films submitted to the festival, drawing on our extensive back catalog of films, in an organized screening program which is held from October until March.

“We are proud to continue to bring great short films to our community, and to present these screenings in partnership with the Yorkton Public Library” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden in a release. “We have a wonderful group of regulars that seems to grow each year, and I think we’ve put together a great program of films for this year’s screenings that our audiences are just going to adore.”

OPEN Cinema returns Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the Yorkton Public Library starting at 7:00 p.m. with a screening in association with the Parkland Filipino Canadian Association Kalinga .

Kalinga is a short documentary which explores the topic of Filipino caregivers in Canada.

“Kalinga tells the story of several Filipino caregivers and nannies in Canada, sharing their struggles and sacrifices to be reunited with their families while helping filmmaker Kent Donguines understand why his mother left him to be a nanny at six years old”.

This will also be a chance to collect a screening sticker as part of this year’s OPEN Cinema Passport program. Collect four out of the six possible screening stickers to have your passport be eligible to win two tickets to the 2023 Lobsterfest event at the Yorkton Film Festival!

OPEN Cinema is presented 100 per cent free of charge and open to the public.
