"We are very proud to present a programme that brings together a multitude of forms, landscapes and visions, with a myriad of incredible talent to whom we deeply thank for their trust. We are excited about holding this festival in a way that welcomes everyone - online and in Sheffield, and also across the UK. The importance and urgency of cinema has only grown since we last saw a film on the big screen." – Cíntia Gil, Festival Director
