Thrissur is buzzing with the second International Science Film Festival! It’s refreshing to hear Dr. M.P. Parameswaran speak about how science should be about creating a happy environment for everyone, rather than just obsessive production or consumerism. He really hit the nail on the head when he told kids that making money shouldn't be the only goal in life. It’s a powerful message in today’s hyper-competitive world. Plus, the district panchayat is planning to have 100 science films produced right here in Thrissur by next year! Imagine students and teachers getting trained to tell scientific stories through film. It’s not just about the screenings - like Pride of Kerala or Jeevante Thudippu - but about building a local culture of inquiry and creativity. This is how you actually popularize science, not just through textbooks but through the lens of a camera. If science can make us happier and less greedy, I’m all for it. #science #education #cinema
