The Art Of The Science Documentary

Following the Appreciative Enquiry session, come hear the insights from the morning discussions. From genetics to geriatrics, science is racing ahead. But are science documentaries keeping pace? Scientists and documentary makers both want to explore, understand and explain the world around them. Both sides strive for truth, relevance and integrity in their work. So why, when we put the practical process of making science documentaries under the microscope, do we find that the values of the two sides can come into conflict, to the detriment of both the films and the public's understanding? This session explores what makes a good relationship between commissioner, filmmaker and scientist and why it is so important to do so. Participants of the Appreciative Enquiry Workshop will join the panel.
