Thrissur is buzzing with the second edition of the International Science Film Festival! Dr. M.P. Parameswaran really set the tone during the inauguration by reminding us that the true goal of science isn't just about excessive production or mass consumption, but about creating the conditions for everyone to live a happy, meaningful life. It’s so refreshing to hear such a prominent scientist urge children to look beyond just making money as their ultimate life goal. The district panchayat is even aiming for 100 science films produced right here in Thrissur by next year, with training sessions for students and teachers starting soon. Between screenings like ‘Pride of Kerala’ and ‘Jeevante Thudippu,’ this festival feels like a massive leap for science communication in our community. We need this energy to bridge the gap between complex research and the public. Let's hope these young filmmakers actually get the support they need to make that 100-film dream a reality! #science #culture #education
