The top jury prize went to Maciek Hamela’s Ukrainian documentary In The Rearview while a special mention was given to Stone Town from Chinese directors Jing Guo and Dingding KE.
Annabel Grundy, Sheffield DocFest’s managing director, said: “Our 2023 edition felt like a homecoming as we returned to iconic Sheffield city venues and a fully in-person edition, with more than 80% of our films accompanied by attending filmmakers and subjects from around the world.
“Sheffield DocFest is a place for creative and international collaboration as well as an immersion in the world of documentary - from film to TV to new formats - we are proud to play an important role as part of this ecosystem and cannot wait to welcome the community back to Sheffield next year.
