Virtual Mathematics and Computer Science Film Festival

Back March 4, 2021

An open invitation is extended to anyone interested in immersing themselves in the world of mathematics and computer science. The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation will be hosting the Virtual Film Festival Mathematics – Computer Science, which kicks off on March 14, the International Day of Mathematics, and runs until March 29. Participation is free of charge.

Every year, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation hosts the week-long Mathematics – Computer Science Film Festival at the Karlstorkino Heidelberg, a local community cinema. An open invitation is extended to anyone interested in immersing themselves in the world of mathematics and computer science.

Kick off on March 14

Sadly, the 8th Film Festival that was set for this past November had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. In response, the HLFF has organized the Virtual Film Festival composed of four screenings which kicks off on March 14, the International Day of Mathematics, and runs until March 29.

The films selected throw a spotlight either on the life and work of outstanding scientists or on social discourse surrounding current issues rooted in mathematics and computer science. Special guests and the films’ directors will be available for questions following the screenings.

Participation is free of charge.
The discussions will be in English.
For more information about the films and to register, please go here.
