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 is also staged to occur at the end of the event.[4]
