Science Film Festival looks to the future

Mobile again: Rewalk, a 20-minute film selected for this year’s festival, is about researchers who were able to make paralysed rats walk again — opening up a world of exciting implications on future therapies for human health.

The Science Film Festival highlights the need for a vibrant science reporting culture in Malaysia.

Whether it’s computer simulations that aid drug design and personalised healthcare, or fire-fighting drones, or supercomputers that enable optimally designed wind farms, science is shaping the future and communicating its role has never been more important.
