ICM'98 VideoMath Festival

In an effort to reach out to the general public, the ICM'98 organizers are going to offer - in addition to the scientific program - several cultural activities related to mathematics that are attractive not only for ICM'98 attendees. One of these events is the

VideoMath Festival.

The best mathematical video films have been selected in an international competition and will be presented in the "VideoMath-Reel". In addition to the prize-winning short films, a number of longer videos will be shown, all in English. (The VideoMath Festival is sponsored by SiliconGraphics.)
