Winner of the Audience Award at Sundance & SXSW...a film that Variety calls "Supremely entertaining. An ode to the teenage science geeks on whom our future depends."

Hailed by critics as "immensely likeable," "brilliant and quirky" and an "ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends," Science Fair follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at The International Science and Engineering Fair. As 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries face off, only one will be named Best in Fair. The film directed by the DuPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaking team Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster offers a front row seat to the victories, defeats and motivations of an incredible group of young men and women who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science.

"Science Fair is a love letter to the subculture that saved me… It validated my passion for science, taught me how to dedicate myself to a goal and set my life on a trajectory that would have otherwise been totally impossible."
Director Cristina Costantini
