The story
South Dakota Film Festival in Aberdeen
The South Dakota Film Festival, founded in 2007 in Aberdeen, showcases short and feature films from across the Great Plains region, spanning South Dakota, Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska, judged alongside submitted films from anywhere in the world, with multiple ticketed screening sessions each September.
The South Dakota Film Festival began in 2007 as an effort to give the Great Plains region a dedicated juried showcase for short and feature filmmaking, a corner of the American film festival landscape that had historically received far less attention than festivals on the coasts or in major film-industry cities.
