Hailed by critics as “brilliant and quirky” and an “ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends,” Science Fair (winner of the audience award at Sundance and SXSW) 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. Directed by duPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmakers Cristina Constantini and Darren Foster, the film offers a front seat to the victories, defeats, and motivations of an incredible group of young people who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science.
