This is the theme of InScience Film Festival 2026

The theme of the InScience Film Festival 2026 is The Things We Do For Love. With this amorous theme, we will carefully examine how humans, animals, and plants will do all sorts of things for a little connection with their fellow species. Why do we long for the warmth of others so much? To what extent is it desirable for others to be like us, or perhaps different in that respect? What is the evolutionary basis for our need for contact?

History is bursting at the seams with the irrational things people do for love. Just look at classical literature. Science is no different – ​​what is it that makes us, as humans, animals, and even plants, keep craving each other’s attention?

We will explore this from March 3rd to 8th with a rich program of films about perhaps the most classic theme of all time – love. But at the same time, it is broader than that: it is also about connection, the body, and the many forms of love that abound in our culture and society.
