Book vs Film Series / Audience Development

The Book vs Film series was an audience development initiative Cathleen Tanti, Bob Pisani & I started at Spazju Kreattiv Cinema exploring the relationship between literature and cinema through curated screenings and discussions. The programme invited audiences to engage critically with film adaptations of literary works, creating a shared space for dialogue between readers, cinephiles, and new cultural audiences.

In order to create opportunities that bring together diverse participants, the series combined screenings with facilitated conversations, positioning cinema as an active cultural meeting point. The project strengthened cross-disciplinary engagement, encouraged repeat attendance, and supported Spazju Kreattiv Cinema’s role as a hub for participatory and discussion-led film culture.
