SCIENCE FILM FESTIVAL SET TO CHALLENGE AND AMAZE SCINEMA TO VISIT 14 PREMIERE LOCATIONS ACROSS AUSTRALIA – MAY 28 – JUNE 13
The largest science-based film festival in the Southern Hemisphere is about to roll out across Australia, and you may never be quite the same again. SCINEMA (pron Sci-nema) is presented by Australia’s Science Channel and supported by major sponsor BBC Earth.
This year’s line-up is stunning and powerful. Premiere screenings will occur at 14 major locations across Australia from May 28 to June 13 see location and pricing details here. (People will also be able to access these amazing films later in the year for free during National Science Week in August.)
The SCINEMA International Science Film Festival is an amazing two-hour viewing experience, bringing together the best in science feature, short, documentary, animation and experimental films from filmmakers around the world.
This year’s program will showcase such offerings as:
The Face of a Stranger: After a 2011 hunting accident, this Quebec man thought he’d live forever with half a face. Then a confident young surgeon made an extraordinary offer. Face of Stranger takes us on a medical journey of epic proportions – where the odds of success are less than ideal. That didn’t bother the prospective patient, 65-year-old Maurice Desjardins, who desperately needed a facial transplant operation.
700 Sharks: In a ground breaking experiment, five of the world’s most experienced underwater scientists dive among 700 starving sharks.
Vitamania: Almost one billion people take a regular dietary supplement, mainly vitamins. But how safe are these products?
The Most Unknown: Nine scientists go to extraordinary parts of the world to uncover unexpected answers to some of humanities biggest questions.
Smart Slime: It’s neither plant, animal or fungus, but a giant single cell that crawls around eating dead matter. This film introduces us to the quirky work of two high profile slime researchers.
Plus many more!
