Neutrino
The Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Detector is located at a depth of more than a thousand meters in the Japanese mountain Ikeno-yama. This detector is designed for the physical study of the neutrino – an elementary particle that may explain the origin of the universe. International scientists live and work in the mountain village together with the local population and their spiritual leaders.
In this poetic-philosophical documentary, directed by Hannie van den Bergh and Jan van den Berg, the invisible quantum world and tangible reality come together in encounters with colorful scientists and villagers. A film that starts as a personal journey of discovery into physical knowledge and grows into a universal existential quest.
The film will be introduced by Prof. Patrick Decowski, Professor of Physics at the University of Amsterdam and affiliated with the Institute for Subatomic Physics Nikhef. After the movie, there is a Q&A with the directors and Patrick Decowski.
In close collaboration with Lumière Cinema, we have curated 2 films (Neutrino and El Equipo) from this year’s festival selection at the InScience International Science Film Festival, in Nijmegen.
