Founded in 2008, Imagine Science Films (ISF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a high-level dialogue between scientists, artists and filmmakers, breaking stereotypes about scientists and challenging standards for scientific filmmaking. In addition to organizing outreach programs, ISF programs the first film festival started by scientists that blends fiction, documentary, science fiction, and animation. Hand-picked by the staff at ISF, this selection of films effectively incorporates science into a compelling narrative, while maintaining credible scientific grounding.
