About Otherfield Film Festival
Otherfield is a Sussex based documentary festival dedicated to re-imagining the possibilities of nonfiction filmmaking. As documentaries on the larger streaming platforms become increasingly narrowly focused on celebrity and crime, Otherfield aims to create a window into other kinds of nonfiction filmmaking: films of unheard voices and places, personal films, films made or distributed in innovative or experimental ways. For the last three editions Otherfield has partnered with Depot Cinema to bring films and filmmakers to the festival.
