SCINEMA Festival of Science Film is canceled for 2014. The Australian festival announced that because they were not successful in their funding bid, the festival will take a hiatus and return in 2015. SCINEMA Festival of Science Film is a traveling science film and multimedia festival based in Canberra, Australia.

Filmmakers, venues and friends,

They say 13 is an unlucky number, but SCINEMA Festival of Science Film ran a terrific festival in 2013 – our 13th festival.

But the luck ran out this year for our 14th festival – we weren’t successful in our funding bid for National Science Week funding. And so SCINEMA will be taking the year off in 2014. Perhaps with festival 14 we are experiencing our second seven-year-itch. But the SCINEMA team pledge to return in 2015.

We will be announcing our call for entries for 2015 in the middle of this year so keep an eye on our website.

Many thanks to you all for your support over the past 13 years, and looking forward to catching up with you all in 2015.
