InScience is a unique film festival in the Netherlands, screening this year’s best science films. The festival dares science, the arts and society to enter into dialogue. Founded in 2015 in Nijmegen, it is expanding to other cities and is now taking over Lumière Cinema. We are very pleased to be hosting the first satellite event of InScience in Maastricht!

In close collaboration with Lumière Cinema, we are curating three thought-provoking and beautiful films from this year’s festival selection. Staff members of Maastricht University will introduce the films, give a brief response to the films, and answer your questions afterwards.

Freedom for the Wolf
Democracy is in crisis. A new generation of elected leaders is dismantling freedom and democracy as we know them. Filmed over three years in five countries, Freedom for the Wolf is an epic investigation into this new regime of illiberal democracy.

Guestspeaker 
Patrick Bijsmans is assistant professor in European Studies at the Maastricht University’s Department of Political Science. He is a specialist in Euroscepticism. Afterwards, Bijsmans will discuss the emergence of liberal democracy in the EU.
