FRANCE / A film competition for PhD students in the PACA region

As part of the 10th Rencontres Internationales Sciences et Cinéma (RISC) in Marseilles, from November 19^th to 26^th, the festival organizer, an association called Polly Magoo, is launching a film competition for PhD students of the PACA region.

With a maximum length of 8 minutes, the films can be about any aspect of science – basic sciences, life sciences, medicine, environment, economics, architecture, urban planning, sociology, anthropology – but they must be directly related to the thesis the film-director candidate is writing, and must adopt a popular science approach. Only PhD students attached to a research laboratory in the PACA region are eligible.

The deadline for registering is September 30^th 2016. Click here to consult the rules and send a film.

This competition also marks the 10^th anniversary of PACA’s Science Culture Network, a consortium of laboratories, associations (including Polly Maggoo) and institutions which develop cultural activity aimed at helping others discover, understand and like science.
