The Quantum Shorts film festival is returning with a new call for entries!
We seek films up to five minutes long that draw inspiration from the quantum world. Filmmakers can take their pick of quantum ideas to enter films or animations for a chance at international screenings and cash prizes. Read the full rules of the competition here.
For ideas and inspiration, check out the festival's A to Z guide of quantum concepts or watch past winning entries in the film archive.
Our expert judges are waiting to see your quantum vision of reality. We are excited for this year's films!
