Science Film Festival 2026

The Science Film Festival is a celebration of science communication in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America: In cooperation with local partners, it promotes science literacy and facilitates awareness of contemporary scientific, technological and environmental issues through international films with accompanying educational activities. 

In 2026, India will celebrate the 10th edition of the Science Film Festival.

Theme 2026 : Artificial Intelligence

The Science Film Festival 2026 explores Artificial Intelligence – a rapidly advancing technology transforming how we live, work, and understand the world. AI is increasingly being used to address environmental and sustainability challenges, from monitoring biodiversity to optimizing renewable energy and modeling climate change. Yet its rise also brings complex questions about ethics, transparency, and environmental impact. The festival invites audiences to reflect on how AI can be developed and applied responsibly – balancing innovation with sustainability and human values.
