The Festival Sud de Sciences, an event dedicated to science film, invites the general public and schoolchildren to discover a selection of recent documentaries. These screenings will be enhanced by meetings and exchanges with scientists and filmmakers.
This festival is part of the local research context, which is particularly rich and diverse in Montpellier, home to six thousand researchers in fields such as agri-culture, environment, and health.
Led by the University of Montpellier and organized in collaboration with major institutions such as CIRAD, INRAE, Inserm, IRD, the Faculty of Sciences of Montpellier, and the CIST, the festival also receives support from ARTE Campus, the City of Montpellier, the network of media libraries, and the scientific culture department of Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole.
The event is free and open to all, exploring research topics related to major societal challenges. The opening evening, titled 'Low-tech vs High-tech: what engineering for tomorrow?', will take place on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the Campus Triolet – Faculty of Sciences – University of Montpellier (building 36 – amphitheater A36.01).
