About the festival

A Festive celebration in Okotoks, Alberta to ring in the Hoildays. Many films are watched by the whole family during the holdiay season, but we want to bring families something new. Instead of rewatching the same Holiday films each year we want to introduce short film filmmakers. Help us bring festive cheer to our town and we will celebrate films this holiday season.

A-One screening package festival. This is a holiday film festival. Any year-end themes are welcome: Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter, Kwanzaa, New Year, etc.. We will select about 2 hours worth of short films to screen at the event.

There will be a Live in theatre screening and then the films will be added to our secure online screening system to be watched On Demand.

Filmmakers are welcome to participate in a live Q&A that will happen at the venue that filmmakers can join over Zooom or on the stage. Filmmakers are also invited to attend the festival in person at their own travel expense, up to 6 tickets will be provided by the festival.

We have two small awards for this festival. A Juried best picture award and an Audience Choice that will be announced at the Live in Cinema screening.
