Our key theme this year is water. From wild swims and personal pilgrimages, to land defence and Indigenous rights, films such as A River Runs Through Them, To the Sea, Undammed and Bad River are tracing the urgent question of who controls access to the water that sustains us. These are global stories, but they echo the currents of local activism around river health and outdoor equity here in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire.
