Dead North Film Festival

The Dead North Film Festival was an annual film festival in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, which presented a lineup of horror, fantasy and science fiction films.[1] The festival had a special focus on films made in Arctic areas, such as the Canadian territories, Scandinavia, Greenland, Iceland and Russia.[2]

The festival was first launched in 2012,[3] by Jay Bulckaert and Pablo Saravanja through the city's Artless Collective.[4] In addition to the primary film festival, the event has also organized filmmaking workshops to act as an unofficial "film school" for amateur filmmakers in the region;[5] in 2020, the festival organizers also launched Rated N, a television series on Yellowknife's cable community channel which broadcasts short films previously screened at the festival.[3]

In September 2020, festival organizers announced that the festival would be going on hiatus.[4]
