Submit Your Film

Have you made a feature or short genre film that just does not fit into the mainstream Cineplex theatre? If you have and if your film has not screened in Saskatoon then you should be submitting it for submission as soon as possible. The deadline for submissions is July 31st, 2010.

The majority of the movies screened through Dark Bridges come from the genres of Fantasy, SciFi, Horror, Anime, Martial Arts, and Genre Documentary. However, If you feel your movie is interesting enough yet doesn’t fit into an easily classified genre please still submit your film for our consideration as we love to push boundaries and would love to look at your film.
