The Film Lab is a new ISF project that turns the science lab into the film studio, bringing scientists and filmmakers together to make imaginative short films.

Imagine a filmmaker interested in genetics immersing himself in the life of a biotechnology lab, to observe the research process and talk with research scientists. Together the filmmaker and a geneticist conceive and produce a short film. It might be an animated dream of dancing chromosomes, the story of an escaped fruitfly’s night on the town, or anything else that emerges from this cross-pollination of science and art.

Submissions begin January 1st. Deadline is April 31st.

Visit the Film Lab page to find out more about submitting your film.
