Cross-Platform Programme
Sheffield Doc/Fest presents a programme of new media development in partnership with Crossover – an international programme designed to explore the creative and commercial challenges of developing content and services for digital media. The programme includes:
The Crossover Summit
Held on the first day of the Festival, the summit provides delegates with the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with representatives from the film and TV industry. Doc/Fest welcomes many highly regarded speakers to the Summit, such as BBC North’s Richard Deverell (keynote speaker 2009), which feed into breakout sessions and round table discussions throughout the day. Following the Summit, the Festival embraces a strong strand of Crossover panels throughout the Sheffield Doc/Fest conference programme – including sessions, commissioning editor panels, workshops, project showcasing, cross-platform pitching competitions and specially commissioned projects which can be experienced by delegates and general public alike.
Crossover Business Labs
Sponsored by Screen Yorkshire, Northwest Vision and Media, Northern Film and Media and Northern Net, the labs are run in conjuntction with Sheffield Doc/Fest. Crossover Labs are a unique series of creative ‘laboratories’ in which experienced and talented professionals from different sectors of the audio-visual industries work alongside international experts and mentors to develop ideas for innovative cross-platform programmes, products or services.

Famous quotes containing the word programme:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
