This year the Science Film Festival has the special theme WATER. The 20 selected films convey in an entertaining way important coherences of nature and environment, explain how innovative technology works and sensitizes the young audience for a sustainable use of our environment. Our young audience will explore that water can be a life giver and a source of energy. They will experience how they can stop the pollution and wastage of drinkable water and learn why the overfishing of the ocean causes a huge threat.
All films will be presented in Vietnamese synchronization and the screenings are accompanied by experiments and other activities. The festival wants to encourage scientificawareness in young people and demonstrate that entertainment and learning can be fun.
