Are you a science enthusiast who is also an avid movie buff? Grab your popcorn and sit back for an indulging movie experience and dialogues on ‘science’. 

Founded by the Swiss Science Film Academy, the Global Science Film Festival brings together scientists and filmmakers who share one passion: “scientific communication through film”. This year, the simultaneous screening will feature two short films – Autosaurus Rex and  CaSSIS.Mars Demystified and one documentary film – Expedition Deep into The Glacier.

Join us on March 31, 2023 for a movie marathon followed by an interesting panel discussion on ‘Making science accessible to the broad public’.
