For the 9th consecutive year, the $25,000
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Feature Film Prize will be presented as part of the

Marc Abraham's
Flash of Genius, which stars
Greg Kinnear. HIFF is presenting the premiere of the film on Thursday, October 2nd at MoMA.
Genius is based on the true story of a college professor and part-time inventor, Robert Kearns, and his long battle with the U.S. automobile industry.
