The Imagine Film Festival – previously known as the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival (AFFF) – is Amsterdam’s premier sci-fi, cult, anime, fantasy and horror film festival. Based at the swanky EYE Film Museum in the heart of the city, the theme of this year’s festival is ‘Building Dreams and Nightmares’. (By the way, visiting the EYE Film Museum's incredible building is an event in-itself!)

This means it looks at how filmmakers use architecture and design to sculpt their own singular worlds. Ben Wheatly's adaption of J.G. Ballard's High-Rise – watch the trailer above and you'll see why it's a perfect choice – is one of many films on show.

But it's not just by screening the films that Imagine will explore ideas, but by putting on lectures, master classes, exhibitions and concerts. Let’s face it: if you love Amsterdam you’ll be camping out in the museum for the duration of the festival.
