SCINEMA is a film festival exploring the world of science through film and one of the major events of Australia's National Science Week (August 14-22) in 2010.
SCINEMA - Student film Challenge - Call for entries
To celebrate The International Year of Biodiversity in 2010, SCINEMA is holding a student film challenge for Australian students of all ages. Challenge your students to make a short film, under 5 minutes, with a sustainability, environment or biodiversity theme. Films will be judged according to age groups (Primary School, Secondary School, Tertiary Institutions) and further prizes will be awarded for humour, technical merit, and the ability to explain complex concepts. Winners in each section receive an invitation to participate in a CSIRO research field trip.*
The winner of our 2009 Festival - Kristian Lang's Woomera Test Facility - won Kristian an internship at The Dish in Parkes.
Download your entry form here. Entries close May 14.
Films are judged by a panel of science and education professionals in July 2010, and finalist films will form part of SCINEMA's travelling program.
Finalist films play to an audience of over 20,000, and young filmmakers have the opportunity to present their own films at their local SCINEMA venue.
