The Imaginal

The Imaginal is a digital platform for curated content and conversations, bringing together diverse voices of filmmakers and moving image artists—emerging and established—from South to North, to reflect on critical issues of the contemporary moment and future imaginaries.

The Imaginal seeks to forge new connections between practitioners who work with film and moving image and to bring them into dialogue through various forms of curated content online. It is premised on the view that film and moving image work can be a vital lens through which to engage with social, political and existential issues and to imagine alternative futures that resist the intellectual closures and political foreclosures of our times.
