Audience Profile

The Brattle Film Foundation’s programs attract over 50,000 people annually, most of whom are residents of Greater Boston—some travel from as far as Maine and Rhode Island. Our audience is as diverse as our programming, ranging from film novice to aficionado, young to old. The Brattle’s members and general audience are young, educated, artistic and international. 40% of our audience is between 25–29 years old and either work or live in Cambridge

They are either skilled professionals—scientists, programmers, designers, and artists—or graduate or doctoral students with flexible schedules. They use the Brattle calendar and website as the main program resource and decide to attend a film at least 24 hours in advance. They are committed to their community; many are active in local and national politics.

Our audience is comprised of sophisticated moviegoers, who favorably compare The Brattle Theatre to a range of other—in many cases larger—cinemas in cities such as New York, Toronto and Los Angeles. The Brattle is a destination for them.

Our audience trusts us to provide high-quality film programming and exciting special events. Brattle Film Foundation

Dear Brattle Friends,

You guys continue to humble and amaze us with your outpouring of support!

Thanks to you, we have now raised more than $35,000 from over 400 individual donors!

Thank you for helping to keep our staff paid and The Brattle alive during this scary time.

I hope that you are all feeling healthy.

As we remain closed, our preliminary goal is to raise four weeks of operating support, or $65,000, to ensure we can continue to pay all of our staff, and other overhead through April 7. As things develop, our timeline for being closed and fundraising goal may change, but our ultimate goal of re-opening The Brattle stays firm.

With your help, this goal will become a reality.

Stay healthy,

Ivy, Ned & The Brattle Theatre Team
