Material Science Film Festival?

I would not have believed this if it werent for the fact that it was reported in Nature's daily update.

The Materials Research Society innaugurated their film festival (if you can call it that) during their Autumn meeting. Short films with a material science theme battled it out to in first prize. The description of some of the film competing was quite .... er ... interesting, including the one titled Material Combat that has ".... a man farting in a lift to demonstrate gaseous diffusion".

Oooookaaaayy......

Certainly, Cannes Film Festival it is not. :)

Zz.
