Germany, 2011
The Centrifuge Brain Project began in the 1970s. Following work by other researchers aiming to find out the influence of kids' play parks over children's learning, the ICR (Institute for Centrifugal Research) in Florida decides to widen the study and find out if fair rides have a positive influence on the brain capacity of adult human beings. In this documentary, Dr Laslowicz relates the many experiments in this field carried out over the last few decades. Directed by Till Novak, responsible for Delivery (2005), winner of the Festival's Jury Prize and nominated for the Méliès de Oro.
