Idea Circle Dinner Discussion #13:
How to watch 1000 short films this weekend without losing your mind – Reflections on 10 years of the CineGlobe Film Festival at CERN
Abstract:
Neal Hartman (Director) and Alex Brown (Administrator) will talk about their experiences running the CineGlobe Film Festival at CERN, including the daunting task of watching around 1000 short films for each edition. What makes a good short, what makes a good short inspired by science, and what are some of the pitfalls of short filmmaking? They will also speak about CineGlobe’s evolution over the past 10 years, about its plans for the tenth edition next summer, and about how you can become involved in this burgeoning celebration of cinema and science.
