Tiny Film

Summary: Scientists have created the world's smallest movie. Using only atoms as pixels, they have created a short story about a boy and his toy. Though this seems trivial, it demonstrates the control scientists have over individual atoms in a creative way.

Decay

Summary: Students and scientists at CERN have completed their zombie movie! After three long years of working on it you can watch it at the link below. The premise is that some engineers were down in the tunnels of the LHC when some radiation leaked and turned them into zombies. Now the remaining members must figure out what caused it before they are also dead meat.
To mock Hollywood's atrocious science, they too purposefully made ludicrous claims, only in this case, the actors (also students) kept trying to fix the errors and had to be reminded that it was wrong on purpose.
 I'll update this post after I watch it with a spoiler-free review.

Chills down my spine

Summary: it may not directly relate to science, but great scientists. While stranded in Antarctica during the 9 months of winter, British scientists have decided to make a horror film. Because of their long winter, scientists pick up and refine hobbies to keep themselves busy. The film, called "South of Sanity," features 14 scientists being stalked by a killer. One of the main problems was actors (other scientists) getting slight cases of hypothermia because of extended periods if outside and laying in the snow being dead bodies. Unfortunately, this resulted in dead bodies that shivered.
The film will get its premiere in Aviemore on 31 October. (I have no clue where that is.)
