Sheffield DocFest is the UK’s leading documentary festival and one of the world’s most influential markets for documentary projects. We champion and present the breadth of documentary form – film, television, immersive and art – in the vibrant city of Sheffield each June. We offer makers and audiences a place for inspiration, debate, development, learning and challenge. Our programming represents our core values – creativity, empathy, freedom, inclusivity and internationalism.

Our programme comprises over 120 documentary films from around the world; Q&As, talks and panels from leading film and TV talent; live pitches, industry sessions and masterclasses; networking events, parties and more.
