On Saturday, October 5, the Raw Science Film Festival opened in New York City and the CfA’s Dr. Kimberly Arcand was on hand, along with Elizabeth Landau of NASA HQ, to celebrate the “Listen to the Universe” documentary that won the Industry award for “Best New Media”.

Listen to the Universe” is a 20-minute documentary produced by the Chandra X-ray Center at the CfA and NASA+ that takes viewers behind the scenes of the team that creates data sonifications.

The Raw Science Film Festival included an awards ceremony featuring a special Q&A with actor/executive producer Matthew Modine, along with screenings and director discussions of "Listen to the Universe" and other selected films. The festival's overall mission is to humanize science and keep fact-based storytelling at the forefront of popular culture.
