Audience Award winners revealed as documentary festival reports record numbers.
International and UK delegate attendance at the 20th Sheffield Doc/Fest rose by 18%, breaking all previous records.
A total of 3,129 delegates from more than 60 countries attended the five-day festival – up from 2,657 in 2012.
The festival, which ran from June 12-16, has also revealed the Audience Award winners for best feature and short-form documentary – and the count revealed a tie in both categories.
The Audience Award for best feature doc was shared between Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Act of Killing and Particle Fever, directed by Mark Levinson and edited by Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now).
Oppenheimer’s film, which features former Indonesian death squad leaders re-enacting mass killings, was originally pitched at Doc/Fest’s MeetMarket in 2008 and also won the festival’s Special Jury Award.
The Audience Award for best short doc was shared between Slomo, directed by Josh Izenberg, and Solipsist Part 1, directed by Andrew Huang.
