For more than two decades, the Science Film Festival has demonstrated how film can transform science communication into an engaging, inspiring, and accessible learning experience. In 2025, the festival reached 953,828 viewers across 20 countries under the theme Green Jobs, highlighting how sustainable professions contribute to environmental protection, innovation, and social well-being.
Beyond film screenings, the festival promotes hands-on learning through workshops, experiments, and interactive discussions accompanying the program. These activities encourage participants to connect scientific ideas with everyday life, reflect on future career choices, and develop practical skills related to sustainability and climate action.
Particularly in regions with limited access to quality science education, the Science Film Festival plays a vital role in making science more approachable and relevant for young generations. By showcasing real-world solutions and introducing green career opportunities, the festival fosters curiosity, strengthens educational networks, and once again demonstrates the power of film to inspire dialogue and collective action toward a more sustainable future.
This year, Petra Christian University Library serves as a venue partner of Goethe-Institut Indonesia in hosting the Science Film Festival. The program invites junior high school students from partner schools and elementary school students from nearby schools to participate in film screenings and accompanying educational activities. Through this collaboration, the library hopes to inspire more young learners to explore science in ways that are creative, meaningful, and relevant to future challenges.
