19th Sheffield Doc/Fest
Event Type:  Festival
06/13/2012 - 06/17/2012

Sheffield Doc/Fest brings the international documentary family together to celebrate the art and business of documentary making for five intense days in June. Sheffield is fast becoming known as one of the top places in the world for people from the documentary and digital industries to get together—to meet, to screen their work, share knowledge, do business, make new contacts and discuss innovations and challenges they are facing in the ever changing media landscape.

Over the past four years Sheffield Doc/Fest has massively expanded its marketplace activity, as well as its cross platform, interactive and digital programme. These developments and the stunning film programme and often controversial conference sessions are what attract over 2000 delegates from around the globe and thousands of general public.

The festival programme includes 120 films from dozens of countries, 300 speakers from the digital and docs sector and over 150 buyers and decision makers from 20 countries participate in the marketplace

Doc/Fest is very proud to support the development of emerging talent, providing educational and networking opportunities, outreach training schemes and a structured internship and volunteer programmes all year. The festival itself is a brilliant forum for new talent to meet established filmmakers and producers and buyers. If you work in the documentary film, factual TV or digital industries you can't afford to miss Sheffield Doc/Fest.
