Through 89 films (5 features & 84 shorts), the 7th annual Imagine Science Film Festival will explore the theme of “TIME”. Topics including time-lapse, evolution, aging, development, time travel and geologic time will be discussed through experimental, animation, visual data, documentary and fiction films. We are thrilled to present films from 20 counties, including 49 premieres and featuring 35 female directors.
Opening night will take place for the second consecutive year at Google New York on October 17th, including a screening, panel and reception. Each night of the festival will take place at a different venue, spanning the tri-state area, ranging from universities to movie theaters to museums in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey.
Awards worth $20,000 will be determined by the 2014 ISFF Jury including Dr. James Watson, Marina Abramović, Karen Cooper, Dr. David Chalmers, Rachel Sussman & Dustin Yellin.
The final award ceremony will take place after a screening and music performance by a surprise guest at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
