Sheffield DocFest: From Tokyo, to Sheffield

Hundreds of filmmakers and documentary enthusiasts from across the globe flock to Sheffield each year for DocFest.

This year, director Nick Dwyer made the trip all the way from Tokyo for the UK premier of his film, A Century in Sound.

Nick told us it was an ‘absolute honour’ to be at Sheffield DocFest. His film depicts the history of Japan as told through their unique music cafes.

Nick says Sheffield is a city with a ‘rich musical heritage’ and was delighted to be showcasing his documentary in a ‘city where music is so alive’.
