Inside STARMUS: Christopher Nolan, Kip Thorne & Garik Israelian | Hawking Medal Exclusive Interview

Garik Israelian, astrophysicist and co-founder of STARMUS, traveled to LA to present the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication in the Films & Entertainment category to Christopher Nolan, who received the award during STARMUS VII in Bratislava. They were joined for the occasion by Kip Thorne, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, producer and science consultant for Nolan's movie Interstellar, and an old friend of STARMUS. In this exclusive interview recorded in Los Angeles, Nolan, Thorne and Israelian explore the intersection of science and cinema. 🔬 Kip Thorne, one of the world’s leading physicists, played a crucial role in shaping the scientific foundations of Interstellar, ensuring that its depiction of black holes and wormholes remained rooted in real physics. Christopher Nolan, one of the most influential directors of our time, is renowned for his meticulous storytelling, where scientific accuracy and narrative depth go hand in hand. Garik Israelian, an astrophysicist, STARMUS co-founder and creative director, as well documentary filmmaker, is dedicated to bridging the gap between science and the public through engaging storytelling. The discussion delves into how scientific ideas translate into compelling cinematic narratives. Thorne explains the delicate balance between creative freedom and scientific precision, recounting the challenges of visualizing Einstein’s equations for the big screen. Nolan shares insights into his collaboration with scientists, emphasizing the role of realism in storytelling and the impact of thought-provoking ideas on audiences. Meanwhile, Israelian reflects on the power of filmmaking in science communication, stressing the importance of excitement without distorting facts. Beyond filmmaking, the conversation also touches on the cultural importance of science—how engaging narratives can inspire future generations of scientists and filmmakers alike. From black holes to time travel, they discuss the responsibility of creators to represent science authentically while pushing the boundaries of imagination. The dialogue highlights how science and art are not opposites, but partners in exploring the universe. The Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication is one of the most prestigious honors in the field, celebrating individuals who excel in making science accessible to the public. Awarded at Starmus, a festival that unites Nobel laureates, astronauts, and artists to celebrate knowledge and discovery, the medal has recognized luminaries such as Elon Musk, Brian Eno, and Jean-Michel Jarre. Starmus VII, held in Bratislava, Slovakia, themed "The future of our home planet," gathered more than 50 prominent experts in climate change, environmental science, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, and included with an epic live performance from electronic music pioneer Jean Michel Jarre featuring legendary Queen guitarist Brian May, and an amazing concert by the iconic punk-rock band The Offspring, also featuring May. #Starmus #ScienceCommunication #ChristopherNolan #KipThorne #GarikIsraelian #StephenHawkingMedal #Interstellar #BlackHoles #FilmAndScience #Storytelling Follow Starmus! 💻 Website: www.starmus.com 📷 Instagram:   / starmus   🎶TikTok:   / starmusfestival   🙃 📕Facebook:   / starmusfestival   🐦 X: https://x.com/StarmusFestival 📽️ YouTube:    / starmusfest   💼 LinkedIn:   / starmus-festival
