About the Festival

One of most pressing issues in the field of science education in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region is the diminishing interest of young people in taking science courses or going into scientific or technical careers. This trend is the result of insufficient human recourses in scientific subjects and an overall need of greater scientific and technological literacy in the region.

The Science Film Festival reached 139,101 visitors in Thailand during the seventh edition of the event at seven venues in Bangkok and 16 venues in the provinces.

The festival was an officially associated event of the United Nations International Year of Forests in 2011.

To address this issue, the Science Film Festival as a cultural and educational initiative demonstrates to young students that science is not only important, but can also be fun. The participating films encourage scientific awareness in Southeast Asia and demonstrate that entertainment and learning can be combined effectively through film and television media.

The festival contributes to the development of a science communication infrastructure and supports science education, both of which are integral to the capacity development of a new generation that has to exist in a global knowledge society. Our effort to present all films synchronized in the local national languages serves the purpose of providing visitors direct access to scientific content, as well as enjoyable quality entertainment without language barriers. The Science Film Festival thereby actively supports access to knowledge through science journalism in the ASEAN countries.

The initiative is strongly supported by the worldwide community of science and factual producers and enjoys a prominent position in Thailand and the other ASEAN countries.

Award Winners of the Science Film Festival 2011 The Science Film Festival bestows six awards chosen by the international jury. They are complimented with a cash prize of 1,000 EUR each. The BAYER Science Film Award is complimented with a cash prize of 2,000 EUR. The Prize of the Jury is complimented with a cash prize of 3,000 EUR. The following award winners of the festival were distinguished by the jury for their outstanding achievements in science communication:

The Visual Effects Award Honors the film that demonstrates the highest level of visual craftsmanship through cinematography or animation. Moreover, the effects go beyond the aesthetic by serving an educational purpose. Scientific principles or processes are explained clearly and engagingly through the visual effects.

Of Forest and Men Director: Yann Arthus-Bertrand | Produced by: GoodPlanet Foundation | Year: 2010 | Country: France | Length: 8 min.

The jury states that the visual effects in “Of Forest and Men”, not only shows us an extraordinary visual poetic cinematography that captures the beauty of the forest, but also makes us care more about nature. We will never look at forest the same way again.

The Education Award

Honors the film that stands as an excellent example of science journalism intended for young audiences aged 6 – 12. Scientific explanations are presented with the cognitive level of young viewers in mind and the structure of the film reflects an effective audiovisual pedagogical approach.

I Got It! – The Sugar Episode Director: ABS-CBN Foundation | Produced by: The Goethe-Institut | Year: 2010 | Country: The Philippines | Length: 10 min.

The jury awarded the film because amongst the educational films, this one fits well for the youngest audience aged around 6 - 12: it is short, funny, visually interesting, and interactive, while teaching clearly about the positive and negative aspects of sweets. It points out that we could enjoy sweetness by eating fruits. It is educative because it explains the process for getting sugar from the sugar cane. The film further provides some physiological explanation about the taste buds and the importance of the brain for analyzing the taste.

The Ecofilmprize Honors the film that makes an exceptional effort to communicate and proliferate environmental awareness. Ecological issues are discussed and explained clearly. The film inspires to care about nature and cultivates a sense of responsibility in that respect.

No Coral, No Maldives Director: Aminath Najeeb | Produced by: CFI, IRD, in cooperation with Maldives National Broadcasting Cooperation (MNBC) | Year: 2010 | Country: France / Maldives | Length: 13 min.

The jury honors this film, which introduces another threat to the existence of the Maldives besides rising sea levels – the destruction of the coral reefs also directly affects these islands. After

explaining the problem, the film shows that there is a solution if we get involved in solving it. Marine biologists and volunteers created a “metal frame” to be a vessel for new corals to propagate. Some hotels for example encourage visitors to take part in this project by donating money and getting the chance to put this “metal frame” into the sea. “No Coral, No Maldives” not only educates viewers to this lesser known problem but offer a solution to save this beautiful paradise - a film worthy of the Ecofilmprize.

The Discovery Award Honors the film that makes an outstanding effort to promote learning about science to the general public. The film generates interest and enthusiasm for science and knowledge acquisition. It provides an exemplary balance between education and entertainment of the highest quality.

Is the Magnetic Pole about to Flip?

Associated Programmes of the Science Film Festival The ASEAN Science Film Festival Since 2009, the Science Film Festival has successfully established itself in five further Southeast Asian countries apart from Thailand, in an ongoing effort to develop the event to include virtually all ASEAN countries by 2015 and connect the region in the common effort to provide access to knowledge through media and open new pathways for generating interest in the sciences among pupils and students.

In 2011, the ASEAN Science Film Festival was organized in Cambodia (19,790) Indonesia (27,000), Malaysia (11,700), the Philippines (23,000), Thailand (139,101) and Vietnam (17,000) – bringing the total in Southeast Asia to a staggering 237,591 visitors.

The ASEAN Science Film Festival as a regional event takes place concurrently in all participating countries under a unified conceptual and organizational framework that nonetheless allows for local adaption to maximize its effectiveness in each nation. All films are translated and synchronized into the national languages.

The figures for 2011 firmly establish the ASEAN Science Film Festival as the largest event of its kind in the world in terms of audience reach and contribute to its recognition as one of the most effective access to knowledge initiatives in Southeast Asia.

SEADocs 2011 – Southeast Asian Student Documentary Award SEADocs – The Southeast Asian Student Documentary Award is a competition to encourage the art of documentary filmmaking in the region as a platform to engage young filmmakers to deal with social and environmental issues.

The 2011 competition invited students aged 18-28 in Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam to submit a portfolio of their work and a motivational essay on making a film under the theme “Tree{s} of Life: Seeds of Change”.

Three national shortlisted students per country received expert guidance during the 8 week production period of their competition film. During the production period, the film ideas of the students were explored and developed under guidance of a consultant. The students received a budget grant of US$ 300 to produce a short documentary film in relation to the theme of forests.

The following are the three regional finalists who received US$ 500 each with the First Place Winner receiving a budget of up to US$ 5,000 to produce a TV feature documentary film in 2012: 1st Place: Mr. Thai Praditkesorn (Thailand) for 2nd Place: Mr. Tanakorn Siramat (Thailand) for 3rd Place: Ms. Pham Mai Phuong (Vietnam) for

The Gardener The Great Effect Heavenly Appointment

I Got It! – An ASEAN Coproduction of a TV Edutainment Magazine for Young Audiences In follow up to the efforts of the Science Film Festival in disseminating and encouraging access to knowledge in Southeast Asia as a region, the Goethe-Institut initiated a unique co-production and capacity building project by means of an edutainment magazine for children in 2009 together with state and public broadcasters in nine Southeast Asian countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao P.D.R., Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam) titled “I Got It!”. The first season of “I Got It!” was broadcast in the original seven participating countries (minus Brunei and Myanmar) between October 2010 and January 2011. The second 26 episode season of the series was produced throughout 2011 and is being broadcast in all nine participating countries from November 2011 to June 2012 with the third season in production throughout 2012.

The series content was co-produced between all broadcasters with subsidies from the Goethe-Institut, but is presented in the national language of each country with a local presenter and adaptations of all episodes financed by the respective stations. The project encourages locally produced edutainment content and programmes for young audiences in Southeast Asia, while at the same time facilitating a professional and cultural exchange between ASEAN countries. The resulting series is not intended solely as a capacity building project, but aims for the production of an internationally competitive programme with a sustainable future.
