But when she visits the reclusive actress from the original film, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear and delirium. We want Soft Focus to be open and welcoming to everyone, regardless of income. To make that happen, we’re using a sliding scale ticket model. Please read the bands below and pick the option that feels honest and doable for you: Thriving (£10): For those with secure income who want to help cover costs for others and support our community. Striving (£7.50): For those who are more financially stable and have regular disposable income. Surviving (£5): For students, unwaged, or anyone currently facing financial hardship. Soft Focus is supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery funding on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network.
