    Scientific content,layout and design and organization of the site were all elements that the judges considered awarding the top prizes. Cristian Boffo (left)of Fermilab’s Technical Division, who is originally from Italy, shows the visitors the site model on the 15th floor of Wilson Hall.

Mulholland Drive
USA (2001),145 min.Dir:David Lynch. Lynch’s atmospheric film noir intertwines the stories of Betty (Naomi Watts), a perky Hollywood hopeful, and Rita (Laura Harring), amnesiac from a car accident along Mulholland Drive, with strange and macabre doings in the world behind the scenes of showbiz. Originally a pilot for a TV series,the film weaves together disparate plot lines and characters in a way that may or may not ultimately make any rational sense...you decide.
