Description
One of the highlights of WEP 2014 is the Film Festival, which is a whole KAUST community-orientated festival with the multi-award winning films being suitable for all ages. A privileged special feature is that a scientist, filmmaker or distinguished lecturer, will be introducing all the films, giving the audience a unique insight into the background and making of them. Can mushrooms save the world? (Les champignons pourront-ils sauver le monde? By Anne Rizzo and Thomas Sipp 2013 – 52 min) Pleurotus ostreastus, Trichoderma reesei…names impossible to pronounce or to remember. However, these mushrooms could find themselves to be at the heart of tomorrow’s innovation technologies! Reforestation, depollution - no field seems to be able to escape them.
