For the eight’s edition of the Science Film Festival in South Africa, the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg is partnering with different partners in South Africa. The festival will take place between October and December 2024.
In cooperation with Play Africa, the festival spreads its activities to several locations in the inner city of Johannesburg and surrounding townships, bringing the wonder and awe of science education directly to children in their own classrooms and communities, closing off the month with a public event at the Goethe-Institut.
The Centre for Creative Arts in Durban will present the Science Film Festival’s selected films at two venues which already are screening hubs for the Durban International Film Festival: Luthuli Museum (a township-based community arts centre) and the Centre for Creative Arts (located on the Howard College campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal)
The screenings will be followed by discussions by facilitators drawn from the university’s sciences and arts departments. The Centre for Creative Arts will liaise with Durban-based partners working in the sciences to set up a mobile exhibition that can complement the festival programme at the Luthuli Museum.
The Goethe-Institut Johannesburg will host a public event on Saturday 16th November offering film screenings as well as educational activities for different age groups with existing partners of the institute. The activities will include hands-on activities and discussions around circular economy and sustainable practices of living.
