SCINEMA returns

The science film festival is back in 2020 with new awards categories.

SCINEMA International Science Film Festival, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere, is back for 2020 – and they want your science films!

They are especially looking for films from filmmakers 17 years and younger for a newly established award called SCINEMA Junior.

The science-based film festival is a celebration of the power of the moving image to tell stories about the world, how it works, and our place in it.

Other new award categories for 2020 include an Indigenous/first Nations Award – celebrating the scientific endeavours, stories and voices of Indigenous people. There are also awards for films developed for social media, and films which inspire compassion or social transformation about current or pressing issues that define our time.

SCINEMA gives filmmakers an opportunity to have their films seen by a large audience – in 2019 the festival attracted over 100,000 science and film fans – and category winners will also take home an Instagram-worthy trophy.

Don’t miss your chance to put the science in cinema! Submit your films now for 2020. For entry details and further info visit: scinema.australiascience.tv
