Screening at Cern … Meeting Jack Steinberger

On April 29, we finally were able to present our film at CERN. After the Amsterdam IDFA première in November ‘09 and the broadcasting on Dutch television in February last, this was another exciting highlight of our HIGGS story: showing the documentary at the very place where we shot most of its footage.

At 7 pm, more than 100 Cern scientists showed up, in the Main Auditorium, to watch our artistic impression of the quest for the Higgs boson and of the curiosity, passion and imagination in fundamental science. It turned out to be quite an extraordinary experience to show the film for an audience of sheer insiders but everybody seemed to like it a lot. (more…)

Higgs in Amsterdam

And there he was: the one and only Higgs. Aka professor Peter W. Higgs, aka the titular hero of our recently premiered documentary film, aka the namesake of the H-mechanism, H-field and H-boson – aka the magic triangle in particle physics – aka the special guest at the last IDFA-screening of our H-film.
