Storytelling & Storyboarding Science at Zurich Film Festival
“Great stories happen to those who can tell them”
― Ira Glass
We seek to challenge, inspire and train scientists to use narrative techniques and strategies employed in film to produce persuasive presentations and publications. Discovering and learning about filmmakers' communication strategies and techniques and applying them in science communication will help scientists in becoming better communicators of their research.
Allgemeine Informationen
| Dauer | 3 full days, normally 9:00 to 17:00. The schedule is subject to change up to the film program of Zurich Film Festival |

I. Theory
Scientists learn storytelling and storyboarding from the masters of narrative, ‘the filmmakers’.
Scientists learn how to borrow communication strategies and techniques from filmmakers and how to apply them in communicating their science. This will help them to engage audience (both peer-scientists and general public) and increase uptake by incorporating narrative attributes into their teaching, divulgations and publications.
II. Practice
Scientists re-write their biographies and abstracts by using narrative attributes used by filmmakers.
Scientists attend part of the Zurich Film Festival 2024 which is a great opportunity for them to meet professional filmmakers and discuss with them storytelling technics that they can use in communicating their research.
Eventually, scientists can prepare films about their interviews with the filmmakers.
