The first features of The Imagine Film Festival are revealed!

We announce the first details of our 2018 programme! As always, we present you a fine selection of horror, sci-fi and fantasy. This year we will serve you some great side dishes from past and future cinema. What to expect? We'll enlighten you:

The past: the Lanterna Magica

Curious about the way sci-fi, horror and fantasy were narrated in the past? Before cinema, fantastic stories were told using the so-called Lanterna Magica. This lantern projected images on the wall, using glass and a transparent image. At Imagine, this technique will be revived in a collaboration between Annet Duller and Wim Bos - collectors of magic lantern images - and Sahand Sahebdivandi from the Amsterdam storytellers collective Mezrab!



The future: Virtual Reality

Next to old storytelling techniques, Imagine also takes a leap into the future using Virtual Reality: a young technology that evokes experiment in the moving image. Let your senses be tickled by this new technology. We present a programme of the best fantastic VR experiences of the past year.

Remakes & reboots

Not only will we travel through time in the realm of techniques: we also invite you to explore the zeitgeist in remakes and reboots. In his audiovisual essay, with an abundance of film clips, Peet Gelderblom elaborates on the political and social aspects of the four versions that have been produced based on Jack Finney's novel The Body Snatchers from 1955.
