In 2005, to celebrate the World Year of Physics and the centenary of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, the Italian industrial group Pirelli organized an international multimedia competition. The challenge was to explain Special Relativity to a lay audience in five minutes. Contributions ranged from funny to deep to psychedelic. A selection of five-minute videos chosen from the finalists will be shown.
