The theme of the 13th Imagine Science Film Festival is "MIGRATION"
The flight of the arctic tern, the multi-generational travels of the monarch butterfly, the return of eels to the streams they hatched in. The arduous journeys of displaced peoples. Data systems in flux. The complex movements of cells, from embryonic origins to developed organisms. This year we seek MIGRATIONS of all kinds. Though this subject is the special focus of this year...

The theme of the 13th Imagine Science Film Festival is "MIGRATION"
The flight of the arctic tern, the multi-generational travels of the monarch butterfly, the return of eels to the streams they hatched in. The arduous journeys of displaced peoples. Data systems in flux. The complex movements of cells, from embryonic origins to developed organisms. This year we seek MIGRATIONS of all kinds. Though this subject is the special focus of this year's festival, we'll be featuring films, installations, and online works of any and all other genres, methodologies, and subjects, as always that push the boundaries of the science narrative - embracing the movement of the Science New Wave.

How do I attend the 13th Annual Imagine Science Film Festival?
The festival is FREE for scheduled programs below. We encourage you to RSVP so you can simply receive reminders from us a few hours before the program start time.
RSVP for each program gives you FREE access to Film & Conversations that appear as different windows. These RSVPs are specific to each program but they do not guarantee entrance. You need to start the movie within the program start/end time window. If a program is from 7-10pm, you can access the film starting at 7pm but will not be able to start the movie after 10pm. The window of time you have to watch a film is indicated. Most programs are limited to 500 attendees and we will inform you if there is only 50 seats left or less. If we reach quota, no one will be allowed in and the screening will be indicated as SOLD OUT.
REPLAY Festival Pass (for the entire festival): The Imagine Science REPLAY pass allows you to watch films and conversations after the live events and only for the duration of the festival thru October 25. Note that some of our films may be SOLD OUT as the festival week takes place and this will be indicated so make sure to check before buying your pass.
Ticketing starts on October 1. We will release a limited amount of REPLAY passes. Note that films with REPLAY passes are only accessible once the scheduled screening has taken place.
You need to be in the United States to be able to watch films of the festival A few films will be limited for viewing to only New York and indicated in the Program info. Filmmaker Q&A conversations will be published on our social media.
How to watch festival films?
Click on a program below and you will see several thumbnails that correspond to the various sub-parts of the program. Click on Film, Panel, Webinair and watch at scheduled timed.
What if I am not in the US?
Most films are restricted to the US because we're ultimately a New York festival and need to keep it this way for many reasons related to the concerns from filmmakers, producers, and distributors. However, some creators have expressed an interest to share their films with the world at-large.
For those not in the United States, we are making a few films available worldwide in a few playlists from October 16-25
- ISFF13 Worldwide - selection of films of the 13th Annual Imagine Science Film Festival.
- Symbiosis films made over the last few years by pairs of scientists and filmmakers short films created over the course of 1-week during the festival.
- Scenes: Capturing Scientific Data on Screen. Scenes serve as clips for teaching, documenting and preserving the accuracy of science through film. They are precisely unedited and raw. There are meant to be recycled and repositioned into a different context in which they can be framed as cinematic experiences.
Many of the films will then circulate in some of the Labocine Issues over the coming months or in some of our LIVE events so stay tuned. Once programmed at Imagine Science, it is important for us to help these films get out to the world in order to keep with our mission of promoting compelling scientific stories.
All of the panels and conversations will also be shared on our Vimeo channel and Facebook Live.
Why is this festival taking place this year?
We're living through a crisis and it has never been more important to find ways to communicate science through visual storytelling and spark conversations. We need to keep experimenting with new ways to bridge the worlds of science and cinema. We also need to prevent false or sensationalized information from reaching the public. Lastly, it is important to understand that science affects all of us in different ways, whether it is an individual, a society, or the world at-large. Even if virtual, the festival still embodies the spirit of New York City, inviting filmmakers, scientists, and audiences to take part in this grand experiment. We will still keep the spirit of a borderless festival by partnering with different institutions worldwide.

What is the program?
A tunnel is dug through the Alps for a new rail line between Austria and Italy. Mountains in California are moved to build a new town. The popular white Carrara marble is quarried in northern Tuscany to become a tile or tabletop. In seven locations in North America and Europe, we observe miners, engineers and foremen at work. They enjoy it—who wouldn’t like operating one of those massive excavators? Nevertheless, there's a feeling of unease. Sometimes a fossilized tree turns up and is saved for a museum—if the bulldozer hasn’t already smashed it, that is. When asked, the workers are well aware of the consequences for nature, climate and safety. But it’s work, and there's a demand for faster transport links, new houses and stone floors. In closely observed, panoramic shots of plowing, hacking and roaring excavators, and in conversations with the people who operate them, the film ponders the question of how much earth has to make room for our demanding lifestyle

Conjuring reality and wonder, "Speak so I Can See You" takes us to a seemingly different era, by exploring the world of Radio Belgrade. One of Europe's oldest radio stations and a true institution of the city, the station still broadcasts original programming and helps keep history, culture and critical thought, as well as everrelevant questions about ourselves and the world, from slipping out of memory and mind. Set at the intersection of an observational documentary and a unique sensory experience, the film conjures everyday scenes at the station and immersing interludes exploring the relationship between sound and the space it inhabits. Through a synesthetic blend of sounds, words, notes, echoes and light, we are taken into a unique cinematic soundscape that doubles as a love letter to radiophonic art and its disarming insight into what makes us remember, understand, think, discover, and feel.

"The Environmental Agency-Abu Dhabi and Zayed University's Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival in February 2020 in Abu Dhabi, UAE focused on Waste. To my chagrin as artistic director, I did not focus on one element that is wasted. Time. On the one hand, Time is an elusive invisible mythical character that mesmerizes artists; on the other, it is the most scientifically calibrated, ubiquitous concept confronting and confounding scientists. The three films we curate frame time to challenge and bend political perspectives of our quantum selves and constructed collectives—to move beyond an ethos of outrage at the horrors of fires and floods. Immediate, spectacular, live, and broadcasted, we live perhaps in instant quick time environmentalism. However, the time of environmental violence is also slow, anachronistic, ancient, and non-human. This invisible irony of time is what our cinema artists represent. Our paradoxical age needs migrations in time too. " Artistic Director, Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival, Nezar Andary

They lead into the story of Soviet space travels and street dogs that live in today’s Moscow. This film is a magical journey across our earthly borders and tells a so far unknown story of Moscow stray dogs – from ascent into space to the life on the surface of the earth.
