What is the Imagine Science Film Festival?

Opening Night 2008

The Imagine Science Film Festival (ISFF) is a full-fledged New York Science Film Festival. The objective of the festival is to showcase films (especially fiction films), that effectively incorporate science into a compelling narrative while maintaining credible scientific groundings.

Imagine Science Films gathers an eclectic selection of films to present at the Imagine Science Film Festival each year. The first ISFF took place October 16-25, 2008, and included screenings in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

ISFF is the first science film festival in New York. It is an environment where filmmakers, artists, scientists and the public can meet, where science is exciting and accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. At ISFF, the public will join scientists in learning and imagining science through visual storytelling.

When does the ISFF take place?
The 2009 festival will take place October 15th – 23rd.

Where can I see the ISFF films?
Some films will be available through our website, including the 2008 Winners. To see all of this year’s films, however, you’ll have to attend the festival in October.

There will also be two fundraising and ISFF preview events on June 26th and September 9th. Be sure to check Upcoming Events for listings.
