Update from the Science and Factual Filmmakers Network

Happy Christmas to all ASC members.

I¹m posting this brief update about the Science and Factual Filmmakers Network, to whet your appetites for 2011. The network has been fairly quiet this year but all for a good reason! Behind the scenes I have been busy trying to figure out how to build and strengthen what it does, and also set in place some new projects for 2011. I hope many of these will interest list members and look forward to your feedback.

A Shooter’s Guide to Making Science Films – This handy, pocket-sized ŒShooters Guide¹ is aimed at helping researchers create films about their work. The first edition will be published in time for university ŒO Week¹ in mid-February, at which time it will be available in hard copy and also as a PDF download from the ANU website. If you have experience in film-making and would like to provide feedback on the draft version please let me know. You¹ll get a free copy and your name in the acknowledgments!

Training for beginning film-makers – Hands-on training sessions will be offered for beginning science film-makers, to provide basic skills and support and get people familiar with the process behind making a film. If you’re located in Canberra we’ll be kicking off first with some free sessions at ANU, subsidised by the Colleges of Science. Other sessions will be offered progressively during the year, depending on interest and institutional support. If you¹d like to see some film training sessions come to your area/ institution, please let me know.

The Science Film Challenge ­ Thanks to ANU we¹ll be offering a new science and factual film-making competition for individuals or teams, with some great prizes of cash and equipment attached. Based on our current funding, you’ll need to include at least one member from the ANU community on your team! So get networking now, or contact me if you’d like to be put in touch with researchers on campus. Alternately, if you¹d like to offer this type of competition across your own networks/institution, then please get in touch.

Help needed!

This Network needs mentors, sponsors and supporters. The purpose of the network is to help emerging film-makers create and complete science-related projects, and to assist researchers to tell their stories through film, video and mashups. The idea is to make resources and opportunities available to as wide a subset of interested people as possible, and create pathways into science media production. This all depends on sourcing external support and assistance, which can help to nurture new talent and provide guidance and advice. So, if you can offer ideas, provide resources or funding, have opportunities coming up that network members should know about, or would be willing to share your experiences with us in 2011, please let me know about it.

2010 member highlights

And of course the year would not be complete without a quick mention of some stellar work done by Network members, who are all beginning film-makers. If I’ve missed you off the list – apologies! Please let me know and I’ll do a second round in the new year.

Congratulations! To Claire Ferrugia for her film The Mars Bar Challenge, which was developed during last year¹s Science Filmmaking Challenge and won best student film at this year’s Scinema Festival.

High fives! To Lish and Nick Fejer who are about to launch Green It Yourself – thanks to the British Council’s Big Green Idea award, this website will feature lots of excellent videos about how to make your home more green-friendly. http://greenityourself.com.au/

Thumbs up! To Sara Rawlinson and the RSES team at ANU, who bravely filmed Seismology on the Move, which is all about the trials and tribulations of being out in the field. This 6min short will be available for viewing online early next year.

That¹s all for 2010! Have a great Christmas break, and see you in the New Year Cheers

Science Exchange

To all ASCr’s,

SCIENCE EXCHANGE: Call for stories Calling anyone with a science story. Got a great idea for a science based documentary or factual production? Science Exchange returns again this year as part of AIDC 2011 in an all new format. The RiAus in association with the Australian International Documentary Conference are calling for anyone with a science story to submit their story ideas to an exclusive forum of international documentary producers and broadcasters. The aim is to create collaborative science-documentary projects for the internet, television and/or feature documentary release. Two winning entries will be given the opportunity to work within one of two teams comprising of a national broadcaster, an international broadcaster, a producer, and a well-known science communicator, to further develop their idea. These two teams will compete and each create a 3 minute, animated pitch for a science factual program. After developing the idea, the teams will pitch their program concepts in front of a live audience and explain why their science story deserves to be told. This is an international program with submissions accepted from all over the world, and an opportunity to see your idea become a documentary series. If you have a great idea for a science-based documentary, submit now. http://screeningroom.org.au/pages/screening-room-home/science-exchange/ Producers are always looking for subjects with:

* Hot Topics (The Future, Energy Alternatives, Medical Advances, The Environment, etc) * Innovative Formats (things never seen or tried before) * Character Hosts (interesting charismatic personalities) * Provocation (challenging topics, alternative viewpoints, controversy) * Excitement (amazing stories, adventure, mystery, travelogue, discovery)

So be creative, and remember to tell your story with a popular-science angle.

For more information visit: http://screeningroom.org.au/pages/screening-room-home/science-exchange/

Your story will be viewed by a team of international broadcasters and producers. If selected, you will be invited to participate in a development workshop and discussion panel based on your idea in Adelaide at the Australian International Documentary Conference 2011.

Submissions close Monday 24th January 2011, and the successful submissions will be announced in early February.

Discover SKA: The World’s Biggest Telescope

Call for partners and collaborators for our major public outreach campaign

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope is the most exciting and significant scientific project currently underway in the world and it is time for the Australian people to find out all about it. The anzSKA and Inspiring Australia teams need your help to make this happen.

The proposed SKA will be 50 times larger than any other existing radio telescope. The SKA will become the cornerstone observatory for world radio astronomy, providing 10 000 times the discovery capability of current technologies.

The SKA is a global ‘mega-science project’, on par with the Large Hadron Collider in its scientific significance.

Australia and New Zealand (A-NZ) have been shortlisted along with Southern Africa as potential sites to host the SKA, with a site decision due in early 2012.

In support of the Australia and New Zealand Square Kilometre Array (anzSKA) bid to host the SKA, the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) invites you to participate in ‘Discover SKA: The World’s Biggest Telescope’ – the official SKA public outreach project.

Inspiring possibilities

This project seeks to excite and inspire all Australians and New Zealanders with the idea that, together, our nations are ready, willing and able to host the SKA, one of the largest and most ambitious science projects ever devised.

The outreach project will be delivered as part of the Inspiring Australia national strategy for science communication and will aim to incorporate 500 events across Australia and New Zealand between 1April and 30 June 2011. It will raise public awareness and understanding of the significance of the SKA project and the global benefits it will provide – not only to astronomy, but to industry, education and technology development.

It will generate pride in Australia and New Zealand’s achievements in science, and highlight that an Australia – New Zealand based SKA would provide maximum benefits for the world.

It will also inspire wonder about the ‘big questions’ that the SKA seeks to answer:

o What else is out there?

o How are galaxies formed?

o What happened after the big bang?

o Was Einstein right?

o Why are there giant magnetic fields in space?

The project is being coordinated by Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre (a division of DIISR), and the New Zealand Fonterra Science Roadshow, with assistance from CSIRO.

Be part of the excitement

We are seeking partnership and collaboration to support the project’s ambitious goal that by June 2011 75% of Australians and New Zealanders will have heard of the SKA.

This project provides an opportunity for organisations around Australia to share in the growing excitement around the SKA and join with our nations’ science, government, industry and education leaders in highlighting the significance and benefits of the SKA project to our communities. We invite you to show your support for the anzSKA bid by hosting events or activities in April-June 2011 as part of the outreach project.

How to get involved

There are many ways to get involved in the SKA public outreach project. Some suggestions are below, along with examples of the support available for each event type.

* Existing events: Consider if any public events or programs already scheduled could be used to raise awareness of the SKA, and simultaneously benefit from being part of this national outreach project. For example, at scientific meetings or symposia, or ‘hot topic’ briefings.

o Internal events: For example, host a morning tea and invite a relevant guest speaker and provide SKA promotional materials to attendees.

o Industry briefing sessions: For example, a breakfast briefing to highlight the benefits of the SKA project to your industry sector and stakeholders (e.g. IT, green energy, engineering).

o General public events: Interactive events are always popular, such as astronomy viewing evenings, public lectures, open days or special visits. Or get creative and host a music or arts event with an astronomical twist.

o School events: Hold a school community movie evening, featuring Scinema science films or space-themed movies, or invite a guest speaker to speak to school science classes.

o Spread the word: Circulate this document to your members and networks and encourage collaboration for events with broader reach and greater impact.

Questacon, CSIRO and the Fronterra Roadshow (NZ) will also be hosting a series of public events, lending their brand of quality engagement to the project.

Support for event holders

A suite of branded information and promotional materials will be available to event holders from early 2011, along with assistance in accessing relevant guest speakers if required. All events will be displayed on a web-based calendar to highlight the range of events and organisations involved in this exciting initiative.

The public outreach project will be supported by a comprehensive domestic media campaign, providing the backdrop on some occasions for major media announcements or providing locally-focussed content for events in regional communities. A media kit will be provided to event holders to assist with promotion to local media.

This is an unsurpassed opportunity to engage communities, school students, business and industry with the opportunities the SKA presents to science and the world, and to generate pride in Australia and New Zealand’s scientific prowess.
