Science Fair

This Pittsburgh premiere isn’t your standard vinegar-and-baking-soda science project as Science Fair debuts at the Rangos Giant Cinema at the Carnegie Science Center. The documentary, directed by Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster for National Geographic, chronicles nine high-school students as they prepare for the International Science and Engineering Fair. One of the most competitive science fairs, the ISEF pits 1,700 students from 78 countries against one another to earn the title “Best in Fair.” This massive competition hits Pittsburgh’s largest screen for a limited run. The breakout documentary was given the first-ever Festival Favorite award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
