Insight Exchange: Capturing the audience

On 16 September 2019, the BFI Research and Statistics Unit hosted ‘Capturing the audience’, a forum exploring research and intelligence from the frontline of audience engagement.

Speakers from the BFI, and the film, television, video games and theatre industries shared their research and thought leadership on how we find and engage audiences, how the attitudes and behaviours of these audiences are changing and what this tells us about the audiences of the future.
