Reminder: ICTP at Trieste Science+Fiction Festival

[Infopoint]

Dear colleagues,

This Friday at 18:30, the Italian première of “Galois. Story of a 
revolutionary mathematician” will be presented at Trieste’s Ariston 
cinema. The documentary film is by Giuseppe Mussardo and Diego 
Cenetiempo, and produced by the International School of Advanced Studies 
(SISSA) and ICTP.

The story of the mathematician Évariste Galois heralds the opening of 
the 2017 Trieste Science+Fiction Festival, which runs from the 31 
October to 5 November 2017. Galois, a prodigy of mathematics, was killed 
at a very young age during a fatal duel in 1832. By blending the 
biographical and the creative, the film tells of the beginning of an 
extraordinary scientific adventure made up of profound intuitions, which 
were unappreciated at the time but which were to change the face of 
mathematics and physics over the following two centuries.

More details about the film are here:

The event is free and open to the public. Booking is recommended 
(requests to be forwarded to segreteriadirezione at sissa.it). Please note 
that the film is in Italian.
