July 2010 — Eyes on the Skies has been shortlisted for an award at Australia's Scinema 2010 festival

Eyes on the Skies, the official documentary film of the IYA's International Year of Astronomy 2009 has been shortlisted for an award at Australia's Scinema 2010 festival.

Jointly organised by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus) and Cosmos Magazine, Scinema is a week-long celebration of science films which screens in venues across Australia. The awards recognise the best films submitted to the festival in a range of categories, and had around 400 entrants from around the world. Eyes on the Skies is a finalist in the category of "Documentaries over 25 minutes".

Lars Lindberg Christensen, the film's director, said: "We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this award. So many astronomical discoveries have been made looking at the rich skies of the southern hemisphere, so it is fitting for Eyes on the Skies to be recognised like this in Australia." The final festival programme, including screening times for Eyes on the Skies will be published on the Scinema (www.scinema.com.au) website shortly.
