From Goethe Institut:

“It is a MUST see, and a powerful green film!” (Leonardo di Caprio)

As opening film of the 3rd Science Film Festival, the Goethe-Institut Vietnam presents the award winning, internationally recognised film “Chasing Ice” on 26th of October at 2pm.

To find prove for the changing climate of our planet, environmental photographer and scientist James Balog travelled to the Arctic regions of the world. With revolutionary time-lapse cameras he captured hauntingly beautiful videos, a multi-year record of effects of global warming, of ancient glaciers disappearing at a breathtaking rate. Balogs impressive work compresses years into seconds and shows, that global climate change is no tale to scare children, but cruel reality.

Chasing Ice won more than 30 awards at international festival, among others the Sundance, Hot Docs, Full Frame, Big Sky und River Run Film Festival (Trailer and more)

In 2013 the Science Film Festival takes place in Vietnam for the third time from 24th October to 15th December, focusing on renewable energies and sustainability. In addition to the opening movie “Chasing Ice”, the Goethe-Institut initiates Activity-Days on 27th October and 2nd /3rd of November with games and films for the whole family.

Language: English with Vietnamese subtitles.
