Description

As part of SFFILM Education‘s expanded family programming, we are excited to bring Science Fair to you and your family. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the directors and guests from the film.

Hailed by critics as “immensely likeable,” “brilliant and quirky,” and an “ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends,” and winner of the audience award at Sundance and SXSW, Science Fair follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair. As 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries face off, only one will be named Best in Fair. The film offers a front seat to the victories, defeats and motivations of an incredible group of young men and women who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science.

Age recommendation: 8 and up.

Director Cristina Costantini, Darren Foster
