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 six 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.

Crossover Labs and Sheffield Doc/Fest have received funding from the Skillset Film Skills Fund to create Devise to Deliver, a 6-month, UK-wide training scheme designed for professional filmmakers wishing to broaden their understanding of the possibilities of digital media, including developing multiplatform business skills and embracing new ways to fund, distribute and market films through digital technology.
