International Scientific Film Festival

The International Scientific Film Festival in Szolnok (12-15 October 2017) 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 2017

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.
