SCIENCE FAIR

OUT 19 OCTOBER

Smart, charming and inspiring, this Sundance favourite tails nine international high-schoolers desperate to win big at ISEF, ‘the Olympics of science fairs’. More Hoop Dreams than Spellbound, it celebrates the teens’ ambitious projects (a Zika virus vaccine, ‘flying wing’ aircraft, and a water-pollutant detector), while casting a shrewd, sympathetic eye over their setbacks and struggles with schoolmates.
