Lights, Camera, Science!

To what extent does film capture the true nature of science? Sometimes it mirrors reality with striking precision, while other times it takes bold imaginative leaps. This dynamic tension between realism and imagination not only shapes public perceptions of science, but also inspires critical conversations about ethics, technological innovation, and the broader impact of scientific progress. 

In celebration of the upcoming 225 years anniversary of the Royal Natural Sciences Society of Groningen, we are organizing a special film series for those with a passion for cinema and a love for science. Each screening will be introduced by a scientist who will place the film in context of real-world science.
