Heyyy, summer! Hot days, sun and sweat, but we still want to make you sweat in a different way. Genre fans have plenty to see look forward to in cinemas and on streaming this summer – with titles like Ryan Coogler's musical/horror classic-in-the-making Sinners, spy -thriller Black Bag and the fourth season of fan favourite series Love, Death + Robots. Get ready for a summer full of Fantastic media!

Club Imagine is back!  This March we again have great films to shock and bedazzle, six of them in three days, ranging from folk horror to goofball comedy, and from genre-film classics to new and exciting visions in fantastic cinema. Get ready! 

As we start fantasising about next year’s festival (and the Club Imagine editions in between), here’s a list of genre must-sees for the following weeks on the big screen or from your lazy sofa. Dark content for darker days!

Salut, Imagine Fantastic Film Festival 2024! This Saturday was our official closing night. We capped our most succesful edition ever with a screening of Belgian thriller Night Call and drinks in LAB111. Before the film, festival director Chris Oosterom announced the three films taking home an award: the Sea Devil for best feature at the and the Méliès d’Argent for Best European feature and short. Worth mentioning: Dutch genre film is doing great! Because both d’Argent awards went to Dutch films…

‘My God! The mortuary voice of the Djinns! What noise they make!’

Imagine proudly presents the full programme for Imagine Fantastic Film Festival 2024. Just one more month till our 40th edition!

Just under a month until Imagine 2023. The contours of the festival edition have been known for some time, with special attention paid to Iran and Fantastic Alchemy in addition to the film programme. Therefore: it is high time to reveal more of the content.
