The Tribeca Film Institute and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have awarded the 2013 TFI-Sloan grants to four projects that integrate science and technology themes. The winners are: 2030, set in a near future Vietnam where seawater has buried a large part of the land and crop cultivation has to be carried out on floating farms; Newton’s Laws of Emotion, about a young Isaac Newton and his romantic and scientific pursuits; Oldest Man Alive, in which a suicidal 88-year-old inventor finds a new reason to live; and Doctor, about a disgraced doctor and medical researcher from India who starts working at an illegal clinic in Queens.
