Bristol Science Film Festival runs an annual science film competition to support filmmakers telling the most interesting facts (or science fictions), no matter their resources.

This year, Bristol Science Film Festival teamed up with the Jean Golding Institute to offer a new prize for science fact or fiction films with an AI or data science theme.

Join Film Festival Co-Director Katherine MacInnes to watch the films shortlisted for the JGI prize and find out who won! We’ll also be joined by some of the filmmakers behind the data-themed shorts to discuss their ideas and find out what inspired them to make their films.
