OUTREACH AND SCREENINGS

Each film produced by Docspace scientific is supported with a purpose built outreach and distribution plan.  Audiences are engaged with specifically targeted outreach materials and screenings, bringing the audience into conversation with leading scientists and clinicians. These films go beyond the film festival circuit to create new audiences and new audience engagement leading to discussion across international boundaries and have led to changes in behaviour in the clinical context as well as setting a bench-mark for scientists and film-makers, patients and the public, students, educators and regulators. 

The ‘roadshow’ format designed for Stem Cell Revolutions, for instance, stretched across the UK (from Orkney to London), as well as in Italy, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Australia and Éire; reaching a combined audience of over 1,200 people in the first weeks and generating wider discussion on the ethics and impact of the research. Detailed feedback collated during production and distribution, including by questionnaire, has revealed that ‘lay’ audiences appreciate and engage with specialist material, with one contributor saying:
 Coming from a non-science background, the film encouraged me to reflect more on the role of science within society

EUROSTEMCELL

EuroStemCell, a pan-European public engagement project on stem cells funded by the European Commission, aims to bring high-quality, accessible and accurate scientific information into the public domain.  All of our stem cell films  have been produced by or in partnership with EuroStemCell.
