GFN Fives & Science Lab

Our replacement for conference posters, #GFNFives are five minute videos, with formats including slideshow with voiceover, animation, or recorded presentations, which cover policy, legislative and regulatory issues, consumer advocacy, regional updates and more general information about tobacco harm reduction. All non-science related videos submitted in this category will be eligible for consideration for inclusion in the GFN Film Festival, which runs throughout the conference.

Scientific #GFNFives will be considered for inclusion in the #ScienceLab sessions during the main conference programme. The content for these scientific #GFNFives might include lab-based research, epidemiological research, modelling, market research on consumer behaviour, discussing results – or expected results – of studies. Those accepted for a #ScienceLab session will be given 15 minutes – including the time to show the five minute video – to present and discuss their work. If selected, authors will need to attend GFN24 in person.

You can submit as many #GFNFives as you wish. To make a submission, create a new user account, sign-in, and complete the film submission form.

Possible formats for your #GFNFives include:

• PowerPoint video presentations, with audio and/or video accompaniment;
• Descriptive videos demonstrating new science and/or technology;
• Short interviews or commentaries on specific issues;
• Animation to illustrate an issue

We welcome #GFNFives which are not in English, but we do ask that you supply English subtitles in closed captions. You can easily add these to your video using YouTube.

We will require up to 3 weeks from the date of submission for processing your work.

Submission Deadline: All entries must be submitted by 15 May 2024.
