Age Ratings
Films are screened at the festival before their general release so are not yet classified by the BBFC. The festival works closely with Sheffield City Council to agree appropriate age ratings for as many films as possible, but some may be listed as Unclassified/18+.
Audience Award
Every feature film in the programme is eligible for this award and you, our audience, are the judges! In an effort to reduce our environmental impact, this year audiences will receive an email after each screening with a link to vote.
Code of Conduct
We aim to create a safer festival, where we care and look out for each other.
We are committed to providing an environment that is welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for all festival guests and attendees, and for all team members and volunteers, in-person and online. Harassment or harmful behaviour has no place at our festival or on any of our online platforms.
By participating in Sheffield DocFest events, in person and online, you agree to abide by and embrace our shared code of conduct. Anyone violating these principles will be asked to stop and are expected to comply immediately, and, at the discretion of the organisers, may be expelled from the activity, event or viewing (without refund).
If you observe or experience a violation of our code of conduct, please contact a member of staff or security personnel, or email saferfestival@sheffdocfest.com
