International Scientific Film Festival

The International Scientific Film Festival in Szolnok (8-11 October 2015) provides forum for such distinct films which can somehow, in some way be connected to science: are about some scientific result or work, or in their action, language and presentation give place to science.

Entry deadline: 20 May 2015

We expect films to the Festival in the following subjects:
→ Scientific educational films, which deal with science related questions in a new creative way.
→ Documentaries and portraits about science, scientific discoveries.
→ Short and long features, which give science or scientific activities an important part in the action of the film.
→ Experimental films, which use the results of science and technique, in order to renew the moving picture expression.
→ Films dealing with the relationship of science and fake science.
→ Mock documentaries, which introduce nonexistent scientific innovations as if they were existing.
→ Documentaries dealing with the protection of nature and environment.
