Audience Development

With UK cinema-goers becoming more adventurous in their cinema tastes, according to box office statistics, Vision and Media aims to offer audiences an even greater choice.

That’s why Vision and Media’s annual Heritage, Access to Film and Audience Development (HAFAD) programme has pledged over £300,000 in funding, and why it constantly looks for new, diverse organisations to help deliver the sort of films Northwest audiences now demand.

Four core areas of activity are now being encouraged. To find out more about a section, please click on the links below.

Please be aware that the deadline for applications to HAFAD has now passed.
