The communication format Science & Cinema: reflecting on representations of science in movies for joint meaning-making
Description
We present 'Science & Cinema', a science communication format combining a cinematic atmosphere with scientific expertise. By examining clips from various movies, the format encourages the audience to critically reflect on representations of scientific topics in our popular culture. The evaluation of pre- and post-event questionnaires, along with a focus group session, revealed that the format appeals to different target groups, entertains, creates interest, and fosters understanding and reflection. By making images explicit, the format shows potential to contribute to the understanding and meaning-making of scientific topics that are strongly present in social discourses.
