Crossover Summit @ Sheffield Doc/Fest 2010

Following the success of last year's inaugural Crossover Summit, Doc/Fest is hosting the event again in collaboration with Crossover Labs.

The 2010 Summit features keynotes and case studies from world class speakers from the UK and abroad as well as in-depth 'round table' discussions on specific topics. Highlights include a focus on the challenges of international co-production, the financing and developing of crossmedia projects, a masterclass in raising funds for social enterprises and using digital technologies for social good or public service. 

There will also be a special showcase of how archives, museums and galleries are exploiting new platforms to enhance public access to launch a new Crossover Lab programme designed to forge collaborations between film-makers, games, web or mobile developers and archive holders.
