It has never been more important to find ways to communicate science through visual storytelling and to spark conversations. We need to keep experimenting with new ways to bridge the worlds of science and cinema. We also need to prevent false or sensationalized information from reaching the public. Lastly, it is important to understand that science affects all of us in different ways, whether it is as individuals, a society, or the world at-large. Science is Culture. Culture is Science (SNW trait #1).

The Science New Wave Festival celebrates the idea of fluidity in form in how we tell science stories. It started in New York City in 2008 but now extends its tentacles to the world by inviting filmmakers, scientists, and audiences to take part in this grand experiment. Experiments Become Cinema (SNW trait #2). We want to keep the spirit of a borderless festival by partnering with different institutions worldwide. We encourage people to join the Science New Wave. With the support of LABOCINE, we've also been obsessed with creating an archive of works and organisms via our HABITAT ecosystem.
