When science fiction turns into science…
The 12th Science Film Festival for children and teenagers is presenting science you can touch and try out. This year, the festival evolves around the topic “material science”: How is material such as paper and plastic being produced? Which consequences may the usage of certain material have for the environment? Are there any alternatives to using harmful material? How can the natural production of certain materials like spider silk or wood be used as a model for technical development?
A selection of 14 movies from 7 different countries is helping to support the scientific consciousness of young people regardless their age and origin. Last year, there were over 300 screenings and the festival reached 36.249 people in the whole country – this is an amazing success which underlines the importance of the Science Film Festival and how it contributes to the support of scientific education in Vietnam.
Join us and explore!
