Higgs

Hannie van den Bergh, Jan van den Berg, The Netherlands, 2009, color, video, 54'
Synopsis

Higgs follows the quest for the 'Holy Grail of physics': the Higgs particle. To find this infinitesimally small speck of matter, thousands of scientists and technicians work on a gigantic accelerator in CERN, Switzerland. Higgs is expected to solve the mystery of the origin of mass. But until its discovery, it will remain a theory. The physicists at CERN work passionately to experimentally proof that Higgs is also an actual existing particle. Set against the backdrop of a stunning construction, each portrays, with imagination and creativity, their own Higgs particle. A film about building cathedrals, about dreams and passions, and about the heart of human imagination.
