SCIENCE:CINEMA
Are you passionate about science, tech, climate, and nature? Then get ready for three days at CPH:DOX’s science stage at the National Museum, dedicated to science.
Our SCIENCE:CINEMA is back at the National Museum with three days of film and debates!
We open the stage on March 25, when we transform the museum’s large, beautiful foyer into a cinema and present a screening of Emil Nørgaard Munk’s portrait of writer Andrea Hejlskov titled “Witch,” after which you can explore the exhibition “The Vølgens Varsek.”
Later that evening, we will show the documentary “The Human Race,” which takes an in-depth look at evolutionary biologist Eske Willerslev and his tireless pursuit of answers, insight, and new knowledge. After the film, Eske Willerslev will speak on stage with his fellow researcher, Thomas Werge.
The next two days of SCIENCE:CINEMA will include, among other things, a science talk show about chemical elements, a panel debate on the future of the internet featuring, among others, the collective Softer, the communications manager at Netcompany, Le Gammeltoft, and researcher Katrine K. Pedersen, as well as a host of debates and in-depth, geeky conversations about everything from deep-sea mining and the green transition to women in male-dominated research environments and much, much more.
