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.

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:
