CERN is a television documentary from 2013 by the Austrian director, cameraman and producer Nikolaus Geyrhalter . The film was produced in co-production with ORF ; the premiere was on December 15, 2013 on ORF2 as part of dok.film . Further broadcasts took place on arte and SRF .
Synopsis
In the border area between Switzerland and France is the CERN , a self-sufficient, self-contained research center . Central to the on-site research is the Large Hadron Collider , a 27- kilometer- long, ring-shaped tunnel with which researchers try to recreate the Big Bang by causing protons to collide at almost the speed of light. In the documentary of the same name, Geyrhalter mainly pursues the infrastructure of the center and follows the people who operate the machines there. The film shows the tension between humans and technology and how meticulous research is carried out these days; in areas that leave physics and reach into the metaphysical .
Reviews
CERN was received by the press as an insight into an otherwise closed center. "Nikolaus Geyrhalter shows machines and rooms that were previously closed to the public [...]". The Kronenzeitung writes how "on the basis of episodic interviews with people who live and work here, [...] the whole dimension of the institution becomes visible". The film will be shown in November 2014 at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, the program states:
“Nikolaus Geyrhalter has visited the site and its many employees, who share a deeply charming and fundamental curiosity about the world that surrounds us. From the woman who realizes during the interview that she ranks her work just as highly (at least) as her family, to the Japanese scientist who gets stuck mid-sentence out of sheer admiration for the Higgs particle and the Nobel Prize-winning theory around it. "
“(German: Nikolaus Geyrhalter has visited this place and its employees, who share a deeply charming and at the same time fundamental curiosity about the world that surrounds us. They range from the woman who realizes in the interview that she is doing her job at least as high as her family, up to the Japanese scientist who, out of sheer admiration for the Higgs particle and the theory that surrounds it and which won the Nobel Prize, gets stuck in the middle of a sentence. "
CERN will be shown in Copenhagen as part of the “Special Screenings”.
