Sundance fave Science Fair screens at Livingston’s Shane Center

The Livingston Film Series will present a screening of acclaimed documentary Science Fair at 7pm on Tuesday, January 8th at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts.
Hailed by critics as “immensely likeable,” “brilliant and quirky” and an “ode to the teenage science geeks on whom our future depends,” and winner of the audience award at Sundance and SXSW, National Geographic Documentary Films’ Science Fair follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair. As 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries face off, only one will be named Best in Fair.
The film, from Fusion and Muck Media and directed by the duPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaking team of Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster, offers a front seat to the victories, defeats and motivations of an incredible group of young men and women who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science.
Now in its fourth season, the Livingston Film Series presents a variety of independent features, documentaries, local films, and special screenings on the second Tuesday of every month in the Dulcie Theatre at the Sane Lalani Center for the Arts.
Concessions are available before the show. Doors open at 6:30pm, prior to all screenings at 7pm. Admission is always free, but donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, please visit www.theshanecenter.org.
