FILM FESTIVAL:Our primary operation of 2019 was the 12th Imagine Science Film Festival, October 18 - 25, 2019. The festival encompassed 11 events including short and feature film screenings, panel discussions, performance, live presentations. The film program consisted of 54 short and 56 feature films.Collaborating venues included 6 prestigious institutions across New York including the American Museum of Natural History, the New School, Caveat, Bowery Poetry Club, UnionDocs, and the New York Hall of Science. Programming for the latter was specially targeted to younger audiences and families, part of our ongoing commitment to educational programming, while our feature film presentations with UnionDocs and the American Museum of Natural History interlocked with current programming and the Margaret Mead Film Festival. New School faculty joined as moderators for our panel discussions, while students were encouraged to interview festival guests and filmmaker as part of a Sci-Art class tailored to the festival.This festival also saw the third year of our expanded Symbiosis Competition. Supported by the Simons Foundation, this initiative brought together top filmmakers from around the world to collaborate directly with scientists for a week during the festival, producing six new short works spanning many subjects and genres. These films are currently being submitted to film festivals around the world. 80427 19000 SATELLITE FILM FESTIVAL:Other satellite projects filled out the year.
