SNW 2024 Film Lineup
Every year, we select the latest crop of science cinema - doc, fiction, experiment, animation, video art, research scenes + hybridities of all type - and present these works at the Science New Wave Festival.
The 17th Annual Science Film Festival brings you films that embrace the idea(l)s of the Science New Wave.

The schedule & events around New York City and on the Labocine platform is now available on Labocine's dedicated festival zone.

A Science New Wave Certificate is provided to each film team to acknowledge that their film aligns and feeds into the spirit and ideals of the Science New Wave. Each film receives a unique 18-digit DNA code that appears on its Labocine page. All films are eligible for the Science New Wave Awards.

Why 64 films every year? 64 is a symbolic number that refers to the total number of nucleotide triplet combinations (codons) of the Genetic code that translate DNA/RNA language into amino acid/proteins. Each film this year is assigned a codon this year forming the Science New Wave XVII Genetic Code.

Become a Member of the Science New Wave and present your DNA ID and get into all festival events.
Science New Wave XVII
The 2024 film selection ranges in length, form and blend aesthetics, cultures, and processes. These films represent the very essence of the Science New Wave and its underlying six traits. They push the boundaries of how science and cinema intertwine to bring us daring, avant-garde, and powerful scientific messages.
