ScienceFilmmakingMarathonIIIZurich17-20September2019DESCRIPTION A major challenge for us, scientists, is to communicate complex concepts and detailed content in ways that are appropriate for the wide audience. In the filmmaking marathon, we seek to challenge, inspire and train researchers to use filmmaking to communicate their research. Scientists learn how to make films by working with filmmakers in four intensive days, aiming to produce short films in small groups. A selection of the produced films will be screened at the 2nd Global Science Film Festival www.sciencefilm.ch. PROGRAM I. 1-day theory and practice course (only for scientists): scientists learn about camera, audio, lighting equipment, and how to write, design and carry out the basics of making a documentary that is attractive for a broad audience. II. 3-day Filmmaking Marathon: scientists work with filmmakers to prepare short films in small groups. A selection of the resulting films will be screened at the Global Science Film Festival (15-17 November 2019 in Bern and Zurich, www.sciencefilm.ch) WHERE Theory and practice: University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and Zoo Zurich Short films: Participants decide where to shoot their films DATES Applications: Between 1st February and 30th June 2019 Filmmaking Marathon: 17-20 September 2019 APPLICANTS Scientists, Postdocs, PhD and Master students enrolled at a Swiss higher education institution
