Czech documentary videos at the European science TV and new media festival

Three documentary videos produced in the Czech Republic were selected out of 80 participants as the final candidates for the top award at the European science TV and new media festival held in Dublin. One of them was interactive presentation of the Institute of Physiology AS CR, v. v. i., made by OAT Studios & The Czech Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic. The presentation has 12 chapters, with each one representing a topic or problem that scientists of the institute deal with. Each chapter has three parts. The first is a short cartoon intro, featuring a young scientist and his pet rat, which introduce the theme. The second part is a video about a concrete experiment or specific job at the labs. The last part of every chapter is scientific text with more details about the topic. There are also contacts for a specific scientist or laboratoires. The other two projects from the Czech Republic were CSI Death on the Czech Sea Shore produced at the Charles University in Prague and Harnessed River made by Fontis TV produktion.
The prizes will be awarded on the 22nd November 2013 at Ciencia Viva Lisbon in Portugal.
