1st Sud de Sciences science film festival

A week to discover exceptional scientific films, discuss topical issues and debate with researchers.
Maison des étudiants Aimé Schoenig, Richter campus - rue Vendémiaire, Montpellier.
Admission free, subject to availability.

From November 12, 2018 at November 17, 2018For the first time in Montpellier, a scientific film festival will offer schoolchildren and the general public a unique opportunity to enjoy screenings and discussions with scientists on social and research topics such as mosquitoes, the origins of AIDS, the world of atoms and plastic pollution in the oceans.

November 12 and 13 are devoted to school screenings. On November 16 and 17, four films will be presented to the general public by researchers. Each screening will be followed by a convivial discussion between the audience and the researchers.

The festival takes place against the backdrop of a very rich and diverse local research scene, reflecting the 6,000 researchers in Montpellier's scientific community, with a strong concentration in the fields of agriculture, the environment and health. Each of them works in close collaboration within the Montpellier Université d'Excellence (MUSE) consortium, which federates research in the region to meet three major societal challenges: Nourish - Protect - Care.

All the films presented have recently been produced or co-produced by CNRS and IRD in and around Montpellier.
