Over a decade and a half after its inception, Spirit of Adventure 2026 marks two decades of Sheffield Asian Film Festival with a retrospective celebrating twenty years of ShAFF shorts. Held within the atmospheric setting of Sheffield Cathedral on 3 December 2026, the programme presents an exceptional collection of films spanning from 2006 to the present day. Visitors can witness these incredible short films which define two decades of cinematic storytelling and cultural exchange. Tickets are available for purchase at prices ranging between £11.55 and £71.13.
Celebrate 20 years of ShAFF by watching some incredible short films spanning all the way back to 2006 to the present day
ShAFF first landed at the Showroom in March 2006. How you mark 20 years since that date, with Covid rearing its ugly head, is debatable, but either way, we are very happy to be celebrating 20 years. To mark the occasion we have crafted two AMAZING programmes of short films for ShAFF fans.
At our annual Spirit Of Adventure event at Sheffield Cathedral on Thursday 3rd December we will screen two 90 min programmes of the very best short films from the last 20 years as chosen by the audience votes from each year. These will be screened in chronological order, and so for the best experience, grab yourself a full evening ticket!
Both sessions will also feature live choral music, really making the most out of this amazing venue.
