What to expect at the Sustainable Futures Film Festival 2026
A Life Illuminated, directed by Tasha Van Zandt is one of 12 films being featured. It’s a feature film about marine biologist Edith Widder and her lifelong quest to illuminate the mysteries of deep-sea bioluminescence, and reminds viewers what is at stake in the collective effort to protect the oceans.
From June 12 to August 31, 2026, the ArtScience Museum will be hosting complimentary screenings of 12 films and documentaries that centre on themes related to ocean science, ecological urgency and cinematic imagination.
The entire programme can be viewed on Level 4 of the ArtScience Museum, spanning across three thematic strands: Uncharted Waters, Deep Imagination, and Hidden Connections.
Blue Carbon: Nature’s Hidden Power directed by Nicolas Brown is a documentary about one of nature’s simplest solutions to climate change: blue carbon ecosystems. It uncovers how coastal habitats such as mangroves and salt marshes store carbon, protect coastal communities from rising seas, and support biodiversity.
Uncharted Waters spotlights marine scientists and researches, Deep Imagination celebrates the sea as a source for artistic inspiration, while Hidden Connections invites audiences to bear witness to a planet in profound transformation, revealing the fragile interdependencies that bind natural systems and human life.
Major highlights include films like: A Life Illuminated and Blue Carbon: Nature’s Hidden Power which are making their Asian and Singapore premieres respectively.
The Sustainable Futures Film Festival will be running from June 12 to August 31, 2026 at ArtScience Cinema at Level 4 of ArtScience Museum, 6 Bayfront Ave. Find out more and register here.
