INTERWOVEN

For its 14th edition, CineGlobe, the international film festival at CERN, inspired by science, delves into the dynamics of entanglement and interweaving, from quantum phenomena to complex ecosystems. Quantum entanglement describes the instantaneous connection between two particles, where the state of one directly influences the other, making them inextricably linked over time and space. This concept suggests broader reflections: how do such fundamental connections manifest themselves across our lives, in our stories, our environments, and our technologies?

The notion of interlaced video frames offers a compelling cinematic metaphor, as well: the intertwining of successive images creates the illusion of continuity. Through this lens, the festival invites you to explore the collisions and networks that define our world, weaving together the micro and macro, chaos and structure, into stories where science and art converge.
