Authorea is delighted to announce a landmark sponsorship with Imagine
Science Film Festival, a not-for-profit organization that fosters
collaboration between scientists and filmmakers. The sponsorship is part
of Authorea's ongoing commitment to heighten the relevance of
scientists' research as a benefit to society and to cultivate
collaboration across disciplines and borders. We're excited for the
opportunity to reach a broader audience with the Imagine Science Film
Festival, as they inspire passion for science through film and art.\\

\begin{quote}
``The Imagine Science Film Festival is a conversation between
scientists, filmmakers, and artists to explore the latest scientific
advances and theories in unique and thought-provoking ways.'' -

\section*{\texorpdfstring{{This year's theme is
}\href{http://imaginesciencefilms.org/newyork/}{Light}{.
}}{This year's theme is Light. }}\label{this-years-theme-is-light.}

\begin{quote}
``Light through film at 24 frames per second is cinema. Light striking
the retina is vision. Sunlight feeding photosynthesis is the foundation
of life. Light, then, is always implicitly at the heart of the festival,
but this year it's the primary subject as well.''\\
\end{quote}

We can anticipate magnificent documentaries, shorts, and features on
photons and photography, optics and the occipital lobe, solar energy and
solar flares, shadows and hallucinations and color perception.~Past
themes
include~\href{http://imaginesciencefilms.org/newyork/year-2015/}{Air}~and~\href{http://imaginesciencefilms.org/newyork/year-2014/}{Time}.
