| Abstract | The need for social as well as academic impact in social science research is now well established. Art is increasingly being explored as a means of generating social impact, most commonly as a way to engage publics with research findings, but to date with little exploration of the process of engagement itself. In this study, we set out to explore the power of art to engage the public. We do this by examining the ‘affective’ experience of engagement through a qualitative investigation using one-to-one interviews and a modified visual matrix exercise. In this article we report on the findings from our analysis of the affective experience of watching a film series, and through this discuss the use of film to communicate research findings and value of a novel qualitative psychosocial methodology for exploring the process of public engagement. © The Author(s) 2019. |

| I was really pleased about that. . | These insights are valuable for improving our own work in engaging different publics and also may assist other researchers who might want to employ similar methods in their own impact activities. . | In this study, we set out to explore the power of art to engage the public. . | Conclusion In this article we have sought to describe a novel approach to how we might better understand the affective engagement of people with art. . | The combination of film and music appeared significant in facilitating this affectively engaging experience and, for those people who watched the films at the event their engagement was heightened by the presence of other people. . | We might also explore wider engagement through the use of greater online presentation of visual material followed by data collection that is also online. . | The film series We called the impact project The Art of Relationships, with it being designed to explore the potential of art as a means of engaging a variety of publics on this topic. . | With the above in mind, a key element in this project concerned the ability to determine how we might best make sense of the processes underpinning the impact of the artwork, particularly its affective impact and mode of engagement with the audience. . | We were rather surprised by the critical (at times, cynical) stance of some audience members and the distancing impact of this stance upon their affective engagement. . |
