2008 South Dakota Film Festival

A unique statewide event for filmmakers and film lovers to gather, mingle and watch pretty cool movies.

The South Dakota Film Festival's emphasis is on films made by filmmakers from the Great Plains region (SD, MN, ND, IA, WY, MT, and NE) or films shot in the Great Plains region.

However, regional considerations are only one of many factors considered in the final draw of films chosen for the "South Dakota Film Festival".

While we are trying to emphasize films from the Great Plains, that is not the primary focus. The goal of the "South Dakota Film Festival" is to screen the "best" films submitted regardless of their geographic origin.

The screening weekend of the South Dakota Film Festival runs September 19-21, 2008. All films are shown in the Historic Capitol Theatre in downtown Aberdeen, SD.
