*Hello everyone,*

Exciting news to enhance networking and community engagement—please help 
spread the word!

As part of the SiS FVG initiative, *Area Science Park* is organizing the 
*2025 Sci-Fi Film Forum*: a series of events exploring the intersection 
of science, science fiction, and cinema, with screenings held at Area 
Science Park.

Each session will pair a sci-fi movie with a scientific discussion—a 
conversation on research topics related to the film’s plot, whether 
plausible, potential, or entirely fictional.

This initiative is in collaboration with the *Trieste Science+Fiction 
Festival*. All selected films, winners of recent festival editions, will 
be screened in their original language (with both Italian and English 
subtitles) at the *Padriciano Campus of Area Science Park (Conference 
Hall)*. Before each screening, a scientist will introduce one of the 
scientific themes explored in the film.

The events are *free* and open to all, but registration is required for 
each individual screening.

*Three screenings are scheduled, all on Mondays.*

Additionally, participants are invited to a *small aperitif from 5:15 
PM* before the event.

🕕 *Time:*6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
🎬 *Screenings:*

  * *U ARE THE UNIVERSE*– March 24
  * *MARS EXPRESS* – April 14
  * *LOLA* – May 12

🇺🇦Ukraine, 2024 – 101’

In the near future, space trucker Andriy Melnyk is transporting nuclear 
waste on a cargo ship bound for Callisto, Saturn’s abandoned moon. While 
in orbit, Earth suddenly explodes, leaving Andriy as the last living 
human… until he receives a message from Catherine, a French 
meteorologist stationed on a remote space outpost. Andriy sets out to 
find her.
