Rather than go too deep into what the festival is all about, I wanted to know what the experience of one of their film programmers is like. Jeff and I talk about that as well as a couple of his picks for the festival this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a side note, I&#8217;ve seen four of the (29) movies now and I mostly like what I&#8217;m seeing. I say this every year, but if you can&#8217;t go to a bunch, just pick any random film or two and go. You&#8217;re sure to have a unique film experience. You can find more info and watch some of the trailers at www.skfilmfest.ca.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy! And thanks to Jeff and John for making this interview happen! This year&#8217;s festival runs from November 17th to 25th at the Broadway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Craig Silliphant interviews Jeff Drake from the Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival (2023)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YS7c0HahOnU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the 14th year for the Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival, formerly known as The Dark Bridges Film Festival (though they revived that name a couple of years ago and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,60],"tags":[69,179,180,78,178],"class_list":["post-1465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-video","tag-craig-silliphant","tag-genre-film","tag-jeff-drake","tag-movies","tag-saskatoon-fantastic-film-festival","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SFFF.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1465"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1467,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1465\/revisions\/1467"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.craigsilliphant.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
