The Science Film Festival brings science to your screen in ways that are entertaining, creative, exciting, and enriching! A celebration of science communication, the festival makes science accessible to a broad audience and demonstrates that science can be fun! In cooperation with local partners, it promotes science literacy and facilitates awareness of contemporary scientific, technological and environmental issues through international films and accompanying educational activities.
The Festival has grown significantly since its first edition in 2005, becoming the largest event of its kind worldwide.
