Movies featuring vampires... I sucking love them, who doesn't?

The 33rd edition of Imagine took place from 12 to 22 April 2017. The theme of the 2017 edition was Fantastic Fashion.

Besides an extensive film program, there was a large fringe program with domestic and foreign guests.

Imagine Fright Night - For one night only, Imagine deserts the stylish EYE and moves to Pathé de Munt for a horror night full of audience participation. Screening the surprising zombie film The Girl With All The Gifts, the Australian outback horror sensation Killing Ground and the both gory and psychedelic Red Christmas. The line-up of four films was completed by Maniac, a horror classic selected by the audience beforehand via social media.

With its theme programme Building Dreams and Nightmares, Imagine puts the focus this year on the prominent role of architecture and design in fantastic film. In many cases, an entire new world is designed and built from scratch.
