Today’s Watchlist!
We have gotten to the last day of InScience. But rest assured there is still a lot of great things to see and to do!
Tarzan’s testicles
Legend has it that the research centre in Sukhumi, the capital of Abkhazia, was built in the late 1920s with the aim of cross-breeding humans and apes. These theoretical beings never saw the light of day, but humans and primates still live together in the derelict wings of the Sukhumi institute.
Philosopher Erno Eskens, known for his commitment to animal rights, uses film to address our relationship and approach to animals.
Eye on science | schatten uit het verleden
Swaying flowers, creeping crystals, and dancing cells: the wondrous world of science films from the EYE Film Institute archives will enchant and amaze. Ever since the invention of the film camera, scientists knew it could make visible what had once been invisible to the naked eye. EYE curator Rommy Albers will show you the best films, including the first 3D Dutch footage from 1948, which was specially digitised for InScience. These films are screened in this program:
- Uit het rijk der kristallen (J.C. Mol, 1927)
- Bloeiende bloemen en plantenbewegingen (J.C. Mol, 1932)
- Röntgenstrahlen (Martin Rikli, 1937)
- Transplantation of the corona (dr. F.H. Reijnders, 1948)
Strange lives in Science
The classic image of the scientist is being tested. Be witness to different scientists in unusual do-it-yourself research, traditional research in remote places and futuristic science at the heart of Japanese robotics. The program contains the following shorts:
- Kappa Crucis (J. Borges, 2016) | NL Première
- Erica: Man Made (I. Calugareanu, 2017)
- Gut Hack (M. Furloni & K. McLean, 2017)
- The Botanist (M. Lacoste, M. Plantehusaruk & M. Lacoste Lebuis, 2017) | NL première
Award show with Gijs Scholten van Aschat
