The Imagine Science Film Festival is coming to NYC on October 12-19 and we’re kicking the week off with film, VR and immersive works in the cavernous space of ISSUE PROJECT ROOM!!!
We open with a celebration of inquiry into all forms of the unknown: existence on the macro-scale and micro, secrets both personal and cosmic. And woven throughout, brushing all with urgency and pathos, questions of survival loom large. To understand is to persevere. The universe is a vast experimental space whose rules may become more cryptic the closer we look, but it is ours to explore as deeply as we can.
The film program will be followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmakers Marleine van der Werf, Réka Bucsi, and Linnea Rundgrendiscussing their work and our capacity to observe the universe around us, moderated by Sonia Epstein (Museum of the Moving Image and Sloan Science and Film).

/ Crisis. Entropy. Extinction. This year we look at the high stakes for all life on Earth and beyond. Between nuclear proliferation, species loss and dwindling resources, existence itself is not assured. But for every dystopia, a corresponding utopia may be within reach. It may be a struggle, but the record of all life is that of an eon-spanning fight to stay alive. We’ll feature tumultuous natural history and startling feats of adaptation. Apoptosis versus immortal cell lines. Half-lives and radical life extension. The deaths of stars and extraordinary paths to SURVIVAL. /
