The Goethe-Institut Pakistan in partnership with Annemarie-Schimmel-Haus in Lahore and Dawood Public School in Karachi as our major partners will host the third edition of Science Film Festival 2021 in Pakistan from October 1st till December 20th, 2021.

The world is facing a global health crisis unlike any other. In the context and aftermath of the pandemic, health and mental well-being are more important than ever. That is why bringing these issues out into the open especially currently is so important and why the Science Film Festival turns its focus on the science of health and wellbeing in 2021 with a selection of international films on these topics.

Screenings of the films will take place in multiple locations in the city in the premises of partner schools, accompanied with virtual activities focusing on the theme ‘Health and Wellbeing’. The films will also be made available online so that audiences all over Pakistan can get the opportunity to access the films. In addition, this year we are planning to expand the viewership and screen the films in other cities too including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar in collaboration with their respective partner schools and institutions. The Science Film Festival will run from October-December 2021; if social distancing is still in effect, the festival will be hosted digitally including online film screenings followed by activity demonstrations by experts.
