VolcanOscars
Cities on Volcanoes 10
Films can be a memorable way of raising awareness, educating or simply sharing the joys of volcanoes and volcanology. As technology advances researchers are finding increasingly creative ways to produce and share these films, abetted by the proliferation of distribution platforms. This session aims to celebrate that creativity and share ideas as well as our love and fascination for volcanoes and volcanic phenomena.
Date: likely evening September 6th 2018
Where: Conference Center Mostra d’Oltremare
