Veranstaltungskalender

This year's Global Science Film Festival will start in Basel on Friday, March 31, 2023. International feature films, documentaries and short films combine current global developments with scientific debates.

At the Basel event, the focus will be on health science topics. After all screenings, the topics will be explored in depth in moderated discussions (exclusively in English) between the audience, the filmmakers and researchers.

Expedition Deep Into the Glacier

The glaciers in the Swiss Alps are melting due to global warming. As a consequence, melting water from the “Plaine Morte” glacier has turned into a threat for the mountain village “Lenk” in the Bernese Alps. This is why scientists explore the water channels inside the glacier. Presenter Tobias Müller delves into this climatic hotspot – on a daring expedition into the middle of the glacier.
