IFF 2011, the results are in… We Are Winners!

We Are Astronomers reached for the stars and won big at this year’s Immersive Film Festival in Espinho, Portugal held between 29 April – 1 May 2011.

We Are Astronomers took home the honours of ‘Best Script’ and ‘Best of IFF’ in the long show category.

We’ve already received lots of lovely emails from new fans of the show that saw it for the first time at the event but do please get in touch if you want to share your love via Facebook or the dedicated website http://weareastronomers.com/

Here’s the IFF description of what the awards are all about:

‘Best of IFF’

This award will distinguish all main aspects of an Fulldome production such as: content, technical implementation, innovation, artistic achievement, production values, creativity, originality, narrative, design, entertainment value, and advancement of visualization in the artistic and scientific fields of Fulldome technologies.

‘Best Script’

This award will focus on the creativity, originality, design, entertainment value of the narrative, creating the best balance in storytelling.

Thank you to everyone involved in IFF 2011, the organisers, sponsors, jurors and of course the attendees. We hope to join you next year with new shows and shorts.

We Are Astronomers @ IFF 2011

It’s always so exciting going to a place for a first time and that’s what “We Are Astronomers” will be doing when it’s premiered in Portugal at IFF 2011.

IFF (Immersive Film Festival) is taking place from 29 April to May 1 at Centro Multimeios Espinho, Portugal. Sadly, none of the NSCC team will be going there physically but we will be there in spirit. We hope the festival is a massive success, Immerse Yourself!

We also have the short dome piece “Astronomer 2.0″ in the competitive section which is adapted from “We Are Astronomers”.

Check it out here but obviously it is much more awesome in a dome!

If you’re lucky enough to attend IFF we’d love to know what you think of “We Are Astronomers”. Comment on our blog or you can head on over to http://weareastronomers.com/
