Imagine: Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival

Dedicated to fantasy, horror, science fiction and animation films, the 28th edition of the Imagine Film Festival takes place this year. But be warned - while generic labels may seem helpful, they often conceal more than they reveal. That's why each year the line-up of films at Imagine prove that the fantastic film has more to offer than just a list of genre types. Experience it for yourself at Kriterion Cinema.

For eleven days in April, movie goers will be treated to a slew of amazing films. It looks like 2012 is gearing up to be another year of great crossovers, huge titles and films just waiting to be discovered. The line-up includes both art house and mainstream, as well as crowd pleasers and debate provoking films. But Imagine isn't just about the around 45 features and 25 shorts on show. It's also a meeting place for film buffs and professionals alike. In addition, it's a great scouting event and the site of three awards granted by a jury of experts and the public.

The festival also engages in dialogue with both national and international guests, offers a master class, exposes important themes and delights die-hard horror fans with its infamous Night of Terror.

Organisers are already expecting to welcome over 15,000 film fans.
