Sheffield Adventure Film Festival

About

ShAFF is about showing the best adventure films, new and old, from around the world. They may be sport based, environment-focused, humerous, none of the above, all three or something entirely different, but they must show adventure.

If you have a film that that meets any of these criteria we are very interested in hearing from you. ShAFF works best with 15 to 20 minute films. If you have a short / festival edit of your film we would be interested in this. However we screen films of all lengths.
