FILM FESTIVAL: SCINEMA

This film festival, brought to you by UWA Library, is screening in the Science Library foyer throughout National Science Week.

Screening times: Sunday (15th August): 11am and 2pm Weekdays (16th -20th August): 1pm

Each day will feature short films on a different scientific topic, including Time and Space, the Space Race, Humankind, Environment, Biodiversity and Medicine, Human Health and Learning about the Sciences.

SCINEMA brings a program of science drama, documentaries, and short subjects, to venues from Cairns to Hobart, and Sydney to Perth.

Since its launch in 2000, SCINEMA has played to tens of thousands of people across Australia. SCINEMA gives many filmmakers an opportunity to have their films, sometimes obscure but always terrific, be seen by an audience.

SCINEMA (pronounced with a long ‘i’ to emphasise the science behind the cinema) is a partnership of the CSIRO, Cosmos Magazine and the National Museum of Australia, with funding from DEST’s National Science Week program, and ACT Department of Health.
