VietNamNet Bridge - The Science Film Festival is back with its seventh edition in Vietnam. This year, it will be held on October 22 to 29 during both morning and afternoon. 

Interesting movies, exciting experiments and many fun games will let both children and adults discover the world of science and technology with their own hands.

This year, the festival evolves around the topic “Anthropocene”: The term refers to the fact that for thousands of years, humans have made their impact on nature, and have changed nature. 

Today, we experience Anthropocene through climate change. Our world with plants and animals is facing a crisis. The film program reflects on these problems but also shows us the beauty and vulnerability of the ecosystems on our Earth.

A selection of 19 movies from 7 different countries is helping to support the scientific consciousness of young people regardless of their age and origin. 

Last year, there were hundreds of screenings and the festival reached 36.000 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.

Until December 7 the program will be presented at schools in many provinces and cities in Vietnam.
