And The Winner Is: Newly-appointed inorganic/energy professor Dan Nocera stars in the film "The Artificial Leaf" at the Sundance Festival! And the film has taken second place and a $50,000 award (for the producers) in the Focus Forward’s Filmmaker Competition for short documentaries. Over 600 entries from 69 countries competed for prizes in the Focus Forward competition. Called Short Films, Big Ideas, Focus Forward's winners form a group of 30 brief nonfiction films inspired by GE’s vision of innovative people serving as the catalyst for world change. But in "The Artificial Leaf", the term "catalyst" is used in its chemical sense.
