科教纪录片《中国天文古今谈》的制作与传播

An enthusiastic, experienced and diverse team of academics and their students, public outreach experts, and award-winning media producers aims at creating an educational and engaging feature-length documentary targeting general Chinese and international audiences. We aim at highlighting China’s key contributions to progress in astronomy, both in an international context and from the personal perspectives of the people involved throughout the course of the history of astronomy. The human stories of Chinese discovery and perseverance, both past and present, have never been explored from these angles, but this is a story definitely worth telling. With the International Astronomical Union’s General Assembly due to be held in Hawaii in August 2015, this offers the opportunity to showcase China’s scientific achievements and ambitions to the largest possible international scientific audience simultaneously, as well as reaching out to general audiences at home and abroad. Over its history of more than 20 years, the National Natural Science Foundation of China has played a crucial role in the development of Chinese astronomy, not only regarding basic major projects such as Lamost and FAST, but also through the promotion of astronomy popularization and education, such as through support of the National Middle School Astronomy Olympiad. Through production of this documentary, the prominent role of the National Natural Science Foundation of China’s development role fostering progress in astronomy will be positively reflected.
