DESCRIPTION:Sept. 12, 7 pm in Piedmont AND Sept 29, 12:30 pm in Oakland @ The New 
 Parkway, 747 24th St.\n\nHailed by critics as an "ode to the teenage 
 science geeks on whom our future depends", Science Fair follows nine high 
 school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks 
 and hormones in the quest to win the International Science and Engineering 
 Fair. 1,700 of the smartest and quirkiest teens from 78 different countries 
 face off. This incredible group of young men and women are on a path to 
 change their lives, and the world, through science.  The award-winning team 
 of Cristina Crostantini and Darren Foster direct the film, which is 
 produced by National Geographic.  It won the Audience Award at Sundance and 
 SXSW film festivals.\n\nEqually compelling is the role of the teachers who 
 accompany the young contestants, tasked with the job of keeping the 
 thrilled, even giddy, young scientists on track throughout the fair. Even 
 though not all of the students the film follows will leave a  winner, the 
 experience is rewarding for them: a chance to travel, feel proud of their 
 work, and introduce them to potential future colleagues, while viewers can 
 appreciate the possible innovations to come in science and engineering.
