Calling budding film makers… there’s one month left to enter the SCINEMA Film Festival.

 SCINEMA, pronounced with a long ‘i’ to emphasise the science behind the cinema, is an international science film festival based in Australia. It provides a platform on which filmmakers -professional, amateur and student – can showcase their science films, from dramas to documentaries, animations or epic natural history.

The festival was founded with the aim of forging links between the sciences and the arts. SCINEMA accepts entries from all over the world. Shortlisted films are collated into a special program that can be viewed around Australia during National Science Week. SCINEMA 2025 attracted an audience of more than 25,000 in Australia and beyond.

A wide range of prize categories are on offer. Entries close 29 May 2026. Check out how to enter here.
