Internal interfaces - goals and realisation of a scientific image film — •Ulrich Höfer1,2 and Michael Dürr2,3 — 1Fachbereich Physik, Philipps-Universität Marburg — 2SFB 1083, www.internal-interfaces.de — 3Institut für Angewandte Physik, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany
Funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), a professional film maker has produced an image film about the research conducted in the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1083 "Structure and Dynamics of Internal Interfaces". The six-minute video clip takes the non-specialist on a journey down to atomic scale to show the progress at the forefront of research at solid/solid interfaces. It is not a demanding educational film. Rather, it is a visually stunning piece that looks like science fiction taken straight out of a movie, with tracking shots that take the viewer down to the nanometer scale, with flights through luminous molecules, exotic excitons, and space-filling laser labs. The film also has a very impressive soundtrack. Gustav Holst's (1874-1934) composition "The Planets" was re-orchestrated especially for this film. It is available on the youtube channel of the DFG (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-mDt0NzHrc). Visitors of Chemikum Marburg can watch the German version on a 4K OLED screen, a device actually based on microscopic processes at interfaces investigated by SFB 1083.
The idea behind the creation of a professional film, its conceptional design and the necessary steps towards its realization will be outlined.
