This year was a major turning point for the Blood in the Snow Canadian Film Festival, as it celebrated its fifth anniversary and moved to its new location at the Cineplex Yonge and Dundas. While there with a few hiccups this year, such as the cancellation of a live TV special and one of the screenings being plagued by sound problems, this was still a very successful year for the festival.
Here are my favourite films of the festival, along with the official award winners.
Top Five Feature Films
Top Three Short Films (Short Showcase)

- Mrs. Rafferty’s Red Red Roses
