Description

The Sci/Film series hosted by the Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image (BIMI) and the School of Science has the broad aim of stimulating scientific thinking and debate through the arts. The Sci/Film series will screen films in which science, scientific discoveries, and the topics of scientific enquiry are represented (or misrepresented). Experts in related scientific areas will lead a discussion after each film about the ideas, themes and societal implications of how film represents science.

The Sci/Film series is funded by a Wellcome Trust ISSF (Institutional Strategic Support Fund) public engagement grant. BIMI is funded by four schools at Birkbeck: the School of Arts, the School of Law, the School of Social Sciences, History and Philosophy, and the School of Science. The University of Pittsburgh is also a partner and co-funder.
