Created for the Science and Technology Facilities Council and produced by Windfall Films, Einstein 100 is an educational short animated by Eoin Duffy to mark the centennial of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Although the subject is scientifically dense, the film takes a playful approach, using visual misreadings and comic exaggeration to make abstract ideas feel lively, accessible, and memorable.
Rather than treating science as something distant or overly solemn, Einstein 100 turns complex theory into something energetic and visually approachable. Eoin Duffy’s animation gives weighty ideas a lighter rhythm, balancing clarity with wit without losing the wonder of the subject.
