3 October 2011: International and UK documentary filmmakers are invited to submit their latest works for Sheffield Doc/Fest 2012 which will take place 13-17 June. The highly popular and critically acclaimed film programme includes seven award categories including: Special Jury Award, Sheffield Innovation Award, Sheffield Green Award, Sheffield Youth Jury Award, Student Doc Award, Sheffield Doc/Fest Audience Award, plus the Inspiration Award. The programme also includes a number of themed strands including Music, Bent, Green – and new for 2012, Sport, to complement the London Olympics.

“Some of the most creative and enjoyable docs come to Doc/Fest via submissions”, says Doc/Fest programmer Hussain Currimbhoy, “Submissions represent an increasingly important element of the overall programme, and more than ever they go on to have an extended life beyond the Festival, enjoying UK and international releases.”

Doc/Fest is the biggest documentary film festival in the UK attracting delegates from all around the world. A record 2310 industry execs attended the 2011 Sheffield Doc/Fest, the first to take place in June.
