Integrating for the fourth consecutive time into the international network that conducts the Science Film Festival, the Mozambican-German Cultural Center proposes to screen films at universities and in neighborhoods of the cities of Maputo and Matola, in order to contribute to an extensive and democratic debate on society's participation in the urgent need to protect the world from the harmful effects of unavoidable climate change.
Additionally, together with other partners, we will hold a masterclass on the theme of Research for film production, with the expectation of stimulating Mozambican filmmakers and residents to use cinema as a tool for raising awareness about Net Zero and Circular Economy themes, as well as other related issues.
Aware that it is essential to engage players capable of mobilizing public opinion, we have included workshops aimed at journalism students to equip them with tools for discussing film criticism, focusing on those with a scientific nature, such as those included in the Science Film Festival.
It is important to mention that for the CCMA, this activity is associated with the annual short film competition, which is our way of contributing to the promotion of the seventh art in the country. It is in this context that some of those involved are competitors in the 8th edition of the Short Film Competition, always aiming to influence more participants in these debates.
In Mozambique, the Science Film Festival will take place from November 1st to 29th, 2024.
