  2. #Bales2023FilmChallenge February 28: A scientific movie for Indian #NationalScienceDay

    #Film maker, photographer and honorary surrealist Jean Painlevé made #science films that verge on experimental art cinema. With custom-built camera setups, he explored the world above and below the water surface, and with that exposed human traits.

    It's almost impossible to select one film from a filmography as vast as #Painlevé's. In honour of C.V. #Raman, lets go with Transition de phase dans les cristaux liquides (1978). It's on Ubu, in case you #wonder.
