Along the International Film Festival, taking place from October 15 to 23 in Rome, Auditorium Parco della Musica, the Fondazione Sigma-Tau starts a novel collaboration as a first-rate scientific and cultural partner of the show. The present fourth edition spotlights Environment and Climate Change, issues the Fondazione Sigma-Tau is well acquainted with through its twenty-year experience in popularizing science.
AuditoriumArte - Spazio Hag is a 80-seat hall, set up as a Scientific Cafe -- there the Fondazione Sigma-Tau offers a trilogy with personalities of science and film world, from 8.30 to 9.30 pm. Some of the hottest scientific subjects will be told and debated with the attending audience. As a co-production with the International Film Festival, clips from the best international productions will back up the entertaining discussion.
From "climatically" disturbing sequences of The Perfect Storm to the outstanding naturalist aboard the ship in Master and Commander, down to the saga of countless "infectious and lethal" films featuring viruses and epidemics, this first run of meetings is going to show how correctly (or not) a few big productions have been divulging science: it is an undertaking to realize how the Cinema may suggest (even unawares) a view of Science, its heroes, its goals. |

Errori e leggende sul clima che cambia" (published by Edizioni Ambiente in 2008). |
