The Science Film Festival started out as an initiative of the Goethe-Institut in Bangkok, to

audience. Because it is much more fun to learn about science, by watching a film!

Science Film Festivals are a great opportunity to tickle the curiosity and

spark the interest of our young learners. – Secretary Leonor M. Briones,

Department of Education

The amount of new materials developed or discovered in different parts of the

world everyday, presents tremendous potentials in changing the way people

live. – Secretary Fortunate T. De La Peña, Department of Science and
