Raw Science Film Festival (RSFF) is an annual event that brings together people across science, technology, entertainment and media from across the world to showcase best in class film and media from around the globe. The event was initially made possible through the support of the National Academy of Sciences and The Science and Entertainment Exchange. 

The mission of RSFF is to humanize science and bring fact-based experts to the forefront of popular culture by celebrating the best science storytelling in the world. The goal is to create a world class film festival for science media on par with Cannes or Sundance, and to extend the festival globally.

The Raw Science Film Festival was established in 2014.

It won “Best of the Fest” in 2019 by FestForums, a consortium of key industry leaders, event producers, and artists with a Board including the Co-Founder of Woodstock (1969), President of Live Nation, Director of Glastonbury Festival, President and Founder of Sundance Productions, and Editor at Large of Billboard.

In 2018, over 400 people drove through fire to celebrate science at RSFF in Santa Barbara, CA during the middle of the largest fire in California history.

It is time for the establishment of science as a cornerstone of our local and global culture. The mission of RSFF is to humanize science and bring fact-based experts to the forefront of popular culture by celebrating the best science storytelling in the world.

From past festivals:

“It’s great fun.” - Kip Thorne

“This was, simply put, an outstanding experience. From the moment I arrived to the Friday evening social through the final science workshop Sunday afternoon, I was impressed by the dedication to the quality of the event. Raw Science is not just a film festival, but an opportunity to learn, network, and share in the art and form of film making and science outreach and education.” - Kai Staats

“Wow, what a great festival! I received an Award for Best Visual Effects for my film Quantum LOGOS (vision serpent) in 2020, and although it is a time of COVID-19 and the onsite festival was postponed.
Keri, the primary organizer, has been so kind in her requests and feedback, and plans for an on-site festival. Such a lovely group to be involved with, I highly recommend this festival!” - Mark Chavez

“Given the last minute rescheduling, the awards event has been rescheduled. Communication couldn’t have been better. The organizers have gone above and beyond in making a difficult situation during a pandemic a rewarding experience.” - Ron Bourke
