2008 marks the 15th anniversary of Sheffield Doc/Fest, and this year's line-up will really give attendees something to celebrate. Along with a wide selection of feature-length and short factual films, there is also a celebration of acclaimed documentary makers Nick Broomfield and Shinshuke Ogawa
Running between the November 5 and 9 at Sheffield Showroom, it features diverse work from around the world tackling themes such as war, addiction, sport and family life.
