Imagine turns 40 – Join the party!
Imagine is the festival for fantastic film in the Netherlands. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024, we present the best in fantasy, horror, science fiction, anime, martial arts and cult cinema. The Imagine Expanded section presents for XR, games and other digital arts. Panels, masterclasses and talks, exhibitions and workshops provide deeper insights and a wider perspective, while our Halloween party provides a different type of energy.
The 40th Imagine Film Festival takes place from 24 October to 3 November 2024 at LAB111 and De FilmHallen, in the heart of Amsterdam.
To join the celebrations, we call on makers of short and feature films, animation, documentary, VR, AR and games working in the fantastic genre to submit their work.
