The call for film submissions is now open and entries can be submitted until 11:59:59Pm GMT on December 1 2016 via http://shorts.quantumlah.org
A shortlisting panel will select up to ten submissions to be shown by the festival’s screening partners, including Singapore’s ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia and Glasgow Science Centre in the UK. The screenings will take place in 2017. The festival’s top prize of US $1500 and runner-up prize of US $1000 will be decided by a panel of eminent judges. An additional prize will be decided by public vote on the shortlist.
Professor Miles Padgett, QuantIC’s Principal Investigator, said, “The ever-expanding field of quantum physics is fertile ground not just for scientists to explore but for artists of all kinds to provide valuable new perspectives on this strange and exciting branch of science. We’re very much looking forward to seeing how Quantum Shorts will inspire filmmakers.”
Organized by the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore, the competition is supported by Scientific American and Nature and other scientific partners in the US, Canada and Australia.
Submissions to Quantum Shorts 2016 are limited to five minutes in length. Enter via the website at http://shorts.quantumlah.org, which also features a full set of rules and guidelines and examples of previous winners.
