From October 1 - December 23, 2018, the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Mumbai, invites schools across the city to partner with it in hosting an international Science Film Festival on campus.
.
The Science Film Festival brings science to the screen: entertaining, creative, exciting - and always enriching. The festival, a celebration of science communication, aims to make science accessible to a broad public in Southeast Asia, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. Taking place in 23 countries and reaching over a million viewers, it is the largest event of its kind worldwide.
.
This year's theme is the Food Revolution. When we think about threats to the environment, we tend to picture cars and sprawling cities, not the food on our tables. But the truth is our need for food and meeting the demands of a fast growing global population poses one of the biggest dangers to the planet. The Science Film Festival 2018 explores key issues around nutrition and meeting the demands of a fast growing global population as one of the key challenges of this century.
.
Schools may choose from a range of films on offer, for the age group 9 - 12 years (middle school) and for the ages of 12 - 16 years (senior school), based on the length of time available and how they wish to build the programme into their curriculum. The films will be shared with participating schools to be screened on campus itself. A list of associated experiments and related instructions will also be shared so that educators can choose to work with their students to make this programme more interactive and practical.
.
The films may be screened on any dates that suit your school calendar, between October 1 - Dec 23, 2018.
.
The festival is free and open to everyone. For more information and to register please email me at alisha@theinheritageproject.in.

Free Tour Alert 🤗
Join colleague @tamararasquinha on a walk through of ‘Mumbai Suburbia: Urban Environment in Crisis’, a photo exhibition by Peter Bialobrzeski, at @gi_mmb_mumbai, this Saturday at 11:30 am!
.
In this body of work, Bialobrzeski turns his lens onto the chaos, energy, spaces and people of Mumbai suburbia. You could be anywhere and everywhere in a megapolis that becomes home to approximately 500 new families every day - most of whom are absorbed into the city’s slums. With his images, we are able to slow down and actually see a Mumbai of densely packed streets, skyscrapers and high rises, slums and derelict structures, lights, dirt, traffic and billboards. But also of public spaces. Buzzing with activity. With business. The city we live in but don’t really notice everyday. Mumbai chaos experienced without the noises and smells.
.
The works on display inspire conversations about city management and planning, and drive home the dystopic nature of living in a city like Mumbai.
.
About the Artist: Peter Bialobrzeski studied Politics and Sociology before he became a photographer for a local paper in his native Wolfsburg/Germany. He travelled extensively in Asia before he went to study photography and design at the Folkwangschule Essen and the London College of Printing. Within the last 16 years he has published sixteen monographic books around ideas of home, urbanisation and creation of mega cities.
.
Registration: No prior registration required. The tours are free of charge and open to all
Language: English
Exhibition continues from 6 Oct - 22 Nov
(Mon - Sat, 11 am - 7 pm)

Spent a lovely Saturday evening with this smart, enthusiastic and critical group of 14 year olds, sharing some of Mumbai’s many complex histories. I was reminded yet again of how children and young adults are able to so quickly draw parallels in stories, ‘see’ and feel things, and best of all, ask questions! Favourite kind of heritage walk. Thanks @jugnufirefly for organising, and already looking forward to the next one 🤗
