Seasons and Festivals

Showroom is home to a vibrant calendar of film festivals throughout the year, celebrating everything from local talent to global cinema.

Our festival line-up includes events curated by our in-house programming team as well as partnerships with acclaimed local and international festivals. From the cutting-edge documentaries of Sheffield DocFest and the adrenaline-fuelled adventures of ShAFF, to the spine-tingling thrills of horror favourite Celluloid Screams, these festivals transform our screens into a platform for discovery, connection and bold storytelling.
