Film-makers and scientists from around the world have gathered at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) in Switzerland to find new ways of telling interactive stories about science. The five-day event, organised in conjunction with the Tribeca Film Institute, wanted to make science more accessible, revealing the stories that the public never knew existed or were hidden within data or scientific processes.

Last month, the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) organized a hackathon at CERN as part of the CineGlobe International Film Festival. The event saw filmmakers, artists, and storytellers descend upon Geneva, Switzerland, but also computer programmers, web developers, and videogame designers. The 42 participants from across the globe worked day and night to produce a range of exciting media works. Each team contained at least one member who could code and these skills were put to use to create games, apps, and other interactive experiences.
