The second Bio:Fiction Science, Art & Film Festival will take place from Oct. 23rd  to Oct 25th 2014, in Vienna, Austria. Bio-fiction aims to increase public engagement with synthetic biology and its societal ramifications. We want to encourage filmmakers to share their cinematic visions of a present or future society shaped by synthetic biology. What is your view on a world living with synthetic life forms? Your approach is up to you – the filmmaker, scientists or artist – the entries can be on science, fiction, or science fiction.  We welcome documentary films, animations, (science) fiction and experimental films. The main criteria is that synthetic biology has to be reflected somehow in the work, but how you do it is up to you.
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
Bio-fiction Award – Fiction
Bio-fiction Award – Documentary
Bio-fiction Award – Animation
The prize money will be 6000 €.
