A film festival is returning to Sheffield Cathedral next month as part of the city’s outdoor culture celebration.
Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF) is one of the headliners for the 2024 instalment of the weekend event.
The Festival of the Outdoors will include seven film sessions across with different themes showcasing the best new adventure, sports and travel films from around the world, running from 15-16 March
Founder of ShAFF, Matt Heason, said: “We have run a number of events in Sheffield Cathedral so we are very excited to move the festival there this year. It’s a unique space with an outstanding immersive atmosphere.”
The weekend will also see a range of panel talks alongside an all day immersive Adventure Bites loop of short films in the Cathedral’s Crypt.
Ben Dransfield, who works on Digital Communications for ShAFF, said: “It’s my first time being involved with ShAFF on this level. I’ve been a big fan of the festival in my student years and have attended many great events put on by this team.
“Meeting everyone involved has been a really warming experience, it’s clear everyone just wants to put on the best festival possible and I think we’re well on our way to doing so.”
The Climbing Works International Festival, the Pollen Market X FOTO and Sheffield Beer Week are all working with the Festival of the Outdoors.
An art exhibition at the Millennium Gallery titled ‘Ways of Water’, an immersive experience of work by the art collective, Matterlurgy, consisting of Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright, will also be held.
