Held since 2019, Reach – Audience Matters is a BrLab program that addresses the issue of audience design and audience development. It is open to the public and focuses on audience design for audiovisual projects in the development stage, bringing important players from the national and international market to highlight current trends and crucial ideas in the business.

In times of Blockchain, Streaming funding platforms, Big Data and other innovative technologies, we are constantly realizing the importance of connecting these concepts to a larger audience of professionals and discussing how important audience engagement is throughout a film’s life, from its development and financing stages to its distribution.

In 2023, all of the activities will be held in person, as well as live streamed on YouTube – check out the full program below. In order to watch the panels, one must register on the SESC website, with the exception of the opening ceremony’s panel.
