CERN to host 4th edition of the CineGlobe International Film Festival

Geneva, 13 March 2014. CERN is to host the CineGlobe International Film Festival from 18 to 23 March at the Globe of Science and Innovation in Meyrin. This 4th edition will present 66 short films inspired by science in competition, including fiction films and documentaries. Selected from a long list of over 1600 short films from 97 countries, all the films have one thing in common - they tell stories inspired by science and technology. A jury composed of scientists, artists and filmmakers will award prizes for the best films screened during the festival. The festival, which is free and open to all, will invite the audience to meet the filmmakers, participate in debates and watch unique musical performances, all around the theme of this edition - "Beyond the Frontier". "In particle physics an important new fundamental particle has been discovered, in consumer electronics, wearable technology is becoming a reality and in cinema, 35mm projection is a thing of the past," said the festival's artistic Director, Neal Hartmann.
