July Kids: In the company of Santa and Uncle Shrimp

Stimulate your scientific imagination and knowledge with this new film from the National Geographic Channel.

The film shows how science and technology make the invisible visible and how it affects our lives in ways we find hard to imagine.

Learn about different phenomena that take place too slowly or too fast for the human eye to see, and discover what lies hidden in invisible light rays.

Everything in this film is recorded with special recording techniques that have never been seen on the big screen before.

To listen to the English narration of the film, headphones are available at the ticket booth for 20kr.
