The Centrifuge Brain Project
PISTES D’EXPLOITATION Travailler sur la notion de vrai et de faux, de fiction et de documentaire, au besoin en comparant ce film avec un authentique documentaire scientifique faisant intervenir des chercheurs, comme il en passe beaucoup à la télévision, notamment sur Arte. THE CENTRIFUGE BRAIN PROJECT Till Nowak Expliquer des lois physiques telle que la gravité et les moyens de tenter d’y échapper, de façon relative, sur Terre (voir le fonctionnement, très simple, d’une essoreuse à salade, instrument courant dans les cuisines il y a une trentaine d’année). Étudier les différentes zones du cerveau, sur la base des figures en coupe anatomique. Évoquer les recherches dans ce champ médical et les dernières découvertes, sur la dégénérescence cellulaire des neurones par exemple (maladie d’Alzheimer, etc.). Pour les plus jeunes, faire écrire des souvenirs de fête foraine ou de parc d’attractions, autour du manège le plus sensationnel qu’ils aient expérimenté, par exemple (tel “Space Mountain” à Disneyland Paris). Se confronter à une autre histoire de “savant fou”, comme le célèbre Docteur Frankenstein de Mary Shelley. Les cahiers pédagogiques ainsi que de la documentation sur les films sont téléchargeables dans la rubrique Jeune Public du site internet. 6’35’ / 2011 / Allemagne Le docteur Laslowicz pourrait résoudre les problèmes des hommes grâce au Projet de Centrifuge Cérébrale, un parc d’attractions pour augmenter les capacités cérébrales...
