Digital Industry Pass 2020
Complementary to our autumn programme of film screenings, talks, panels, artists’ events and community engagement activities across Sheffield, some of our films and activities are moving online. For those in the industry, the best way to connect is through our Digital Industry Pass. The Digital Industry Pass is available to filmmakers, artists and members of the film, digital art and related industries.
The Digital Industry Pass gives you access to the following programme available from June to November 2020:
- Doc/Player – our online industry screening platform offering a curated programme of new films from all over the world, from across our non-competitive film strands: Into the World, Rebellions, Ghosts & Apparitions and Rhyme & Rhythm. The Doc/Player will run from 8 June until 31 August 2020. Films will be added as we go along and some will be there for a limited period of time - we recommend getting the pass early.
- Streaming of 6+ talks and panels throughout June, July and August.
