16th Edition
The Science Film Festival Philippines 2025 takes place from October 24 to December 1, continuing its tradition as the country’s largest and longest-running science film festival. This year’s opening will be held on October 24 at the National Museum of the Philippines – Museum of Natural History, in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology- Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI).

With the continued support of the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), this year’s edition will once again bring films to audiences nationwide through screenings in classrooms, museums, libraries, and partner institutions.

A special highlight will be an additional screening at long-standing partner Liceo de Cagayan University, a PASCH school within the global network of schools that promote German, on November 25, 2025.

The festival is made possible through the collaboration of key partners: DepEd, DOST, the National Museum of the Philippines, Liceo de Cagayan University, and Rolls-Royce, together with the Film Development Council of the Philippines, Montessori de Sagrada Familia, Museo ng Muntinlupa, the National Library of the Philippines, Philippine Science High Schools, SciCommPh, the University of the Philippines Film Institute (UPFI), the UP Department of Science Communication, and UP NISMED.
