Little Histories of Cinema: “Eureka! Science on the Move”
Children’s film programme
Science, like art, has allowed us to see and understand the world in a new way. Science doesn’t just reveal the world from the objective and verifiable point of view, it also requires imagination to move forward, and at each new step, it lights the imagination of the learned and layman alike. More than a few writers, visionaries and abstract, conceptual and surrealist artists owe their inspiration to scientific curiosity, whether in-depth or circumstantial, sometimes aroused by a headline and others thorough a thorough reading or an evocative image in which a micron fuses with a cosmos.
This program from the Little Histories of Cinema program explores the vision of science through the eyes of audiovisual artists while also showing some elements of scientific work or popular science that, independent of their original intention, are attractive in the creative context.
