| Form And Line Reference | Part X, Line 2: | FormAndLineReferenceDesc |
| Explanation | Imagine Science Films, Corp. is required by accounting standards to recognize or derecognize its tax position based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on ISF's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. ISF currently has procedures in place to review matters that may be considered tax positions including ensuring the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; determining and meeting its filing and tax obligations in the various jurisdictions where it has filing obligations. ISF's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after being filed. | ExplanationTxt |

| Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishments | In 2015, Imagine Science Films Corp held its 8th Annual New York Film Festival, satellite events. The 8th annual Imagine Science Film Festival in New York was the biggest yet. It took place from October 16-24, 2015 on the theme of "AIR". The festival included 136 films (8 features, 128 shorts) from 31 countries around the world, including 75 premiers and featuring 59 female directors and 86 male directors. Similar to past festivals, we traveled to venues throughout the Tri-State area including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey with partners such as Google, The American Museum of Natural History, The New School, The Museum of the Moving Image and The Rubin Museum. Peter Metler, John Mhiripiri, Nicola Twilley, John Steele and Summer Ash donated their time as jury members voting on The Nature Scientific Merit Award, The AAAS Scientist Award and Nanotronics Visual Science Award. For the second year, the New York Festival hosted a 48-hour Film Competition pairing scientists and filmmakers in competition to make the best science short. In addition to the New York Festival, Imagine Science launched the first annual Imagine Science Abu Dhabi festival in partnership with New York University Abu Dhabi (February 2015), and was a guest programmer at the Rencotres Internationales Science & Cinema festival in Marseille, France (November 2015). Imagine Science also created original film content for web distribution and educational purposes, its Field Work banner. These short films are freely available and serve to explore and demonstrate the ways science and art can come together. Our main sponsors are AAAS/Science, MacMillan Publishing Group (Nature Magazine), NYU-Abu Dhabi, NYU and Columbia University. |
