Crossover 360 Sessions

Crossover 360 Sessions

Sheffield Doc/Fest is renowned for leading the way in addressing issues around cross platform delivery and interactive documentary production.

In previous years, we presented DigiDocs 360, a series of panels and masterclasses addressing the challenges of embracing the cross platform world with speakers from the UK and around the globe.

As well as the Crossover Summit , Sheffield Doc/Fest further developed its interactive and digital programme - Crossover 360!

It included the NFB Cross Platform Pitching Competition, hosted by National Film Board of Canada, which offered a prize of £5,000 in development investment, as well as a packed programme of sessions, workshops, games and cross-platform films.

"Heather Croall and her gang have created one of the best networking events I’ve ever experienced. The Sheffield International Documentary Festival has proved to be the most excellent way for us to make connections with industry players from around the world in a really fun and informal environment. I’ve met people here who I will certainly continue to collaborate with for years to come. In very practical terms, Sheffield has brought Xenophile Media a great BBC project, two excellent new employees and even a fiancé for my business partner!"

Patrick Crowe, Executive Producer, Xenophile Media. Toronto Canada
