Sensoria is the UK’s festival of film and music. Sensoria’s natural home is Sheffield – a city renowned for its creative and technical innovation and one rich in musical heritage. The festival has risktaking and innovation at its core – it is informal and informative; Sensoria loves to provide access, raise aspiration and work to encourage new talent on an ongoing basis.

• Our 2019 call for submissions has now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied.

We look forward to seeing you in Autumn for a heady mix of screenings, performance, talks, events and exhibitions but keep checking throughout the year as we present Sensoria Teasers – events, activities and collaborations as and when the opportunity arises. We deliver exciting education work including Resonator and the Creative and Media Diplomas Festivals Unit.

We have a number of virtual projects too – check out Uncommon People – our online family tree of Sheffield’s music scene, past and present – and the Sheffield Music Map, a free smartphone app.

Sensoria researched, compiled and wrote the Sheffield Music Report 2015: A snapshot of Sheffield’s music sector (PDF download).
Building on Sheffield’s famous musical heritage, the report outlines how Sheffield is a leading Music City. The report audits data from across South Yorkshire, as well as incorporating in-depth interviews with key leaders from across Sheffield’s music scene.

SensoriaPro also delivers high quality ongoing activity for professionals and emerging talent within the music and film industry.
