Why?
Scientific reports normally attract an audience which is already scientifically oriented, and aim to provide information. In contrast, short films feature provocative and entertaining stories which spark debate and invite action, in less than 10 minutes. Thus, a message is delivered that inspires an audience about a subject, but it is not exclusively science-oriented.EFIS, the European Federation of Immunological Societies, is offering an award of 3,000 Euros for the best short film which shows the importance of immunology and up to 25,000 Euros for realisation of the selected concept.
The film shall:
- create a relationship between short film and the science of immunology
- encourage young directors to address scientific topics of social concern
- use the short film genre as a media to set scientific topics in a specific context
The contest is dedicated to discovering new talent in short film submissions from all over Europe, including, Israel, Russia, Turkey.
We invite all filmmakers to help us publicize the importance of immunology.
We are searching for creativity, imagination and enthusiasm!
Stefan H. E. Kaufmann, President EFIS
