Throughout the year, the Sheffield DocFest team takes part in international festivals and markets to meet with projects, filmmakers and industry colleagues. 

This includes presenting the Sheffield DocFest Networking Award to a number of documentary projects, which grants the winner with a Festival Pass, enabling filmmakers from around the world to attend our festival in June and connect with others in the industry through both our Festival Programme and Industry Sessions.
