Het Imagine Film Festival gelooft in sciencefiction (see also aka cli-fi at cli-fi.net), want de toekomstfilm kan ons redden
The Imagine Film Festival believes in science fiction and in climate fiction aka cli-fi, because the future film can save us
The Amsterdam festival was canceled this spring due to the outbreak of the corona virus, but is now continuing - partly online.

In the Chinese Communist Party funded Chinese future film Last Sunrise, the sun starts to go out and the Earth cools down.
Nature that strikes back as a festival theme. That's what they came up with at the Imagine Film Festival, long before the annual event was due to take place last April. And then nature, to which we also consider the coronavirus born on a Chinese animal market in Communist dictatorship of China or not, for the sake of convenience, did indeed kick back. So much so that the entire festival edition was canceled. Now, towards the end of the summer, Imagine will present a hybrid edition. Partly online, partly in Amsterdam theaters.
Without virus films, but with film disaster in various guises. Like in the new Chinese drama Last Sunrise, in which the sun suddenly runs out and the temperature on Earth drops rapidly. Or Sea Fever, in which an Irish fishing boat encounters a strange and extremely nasty sea parasite. But the illustrious1990s ''so bad it was good'' Waterworld, in which the world has been engulfed and protagonist Kevin Costner has gills, is also part of the Nature Strikes Back! From the festival guide: "No matter how bold some eco-horror or cli-fi (climate fiction) may be, reality has recently started to look eerily like fantastic fiction."
That film, and in particular the futuristic climate fiction aka cli-fi or also the teenage fanfic science fiction genre, can help us keep nature in check is the subject of an online panel discussion on Friday evening. One of the speakers is the French historian and film lover Etienne Augé (46), who teaches climate fiction (defined as 'the history of the future') at Erasmus University Rotterdam, among other things. The biggest misconception about science fiction films, Augé says in a telephone interview, is that they should "predict" the future.

The biggest misconception about science fiction films, Augé says in a telephone interview, is that they should "predict" the future.
"My all-time favorite SF movie is Blade Runner. The year 2019 in which that 1982 film is set is not very reminiscent of the real 2019. But in thinking about - and warning for - the relatively near future, you can still pick up everything from Blade Runner. The meaning of artificial intelligence, for example, or the role of pollution. "
Science fiction has its origins in France and Great Britain, with writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Later, the genre was embraced in the Soviet Union and the United States. It is no coincidence, according to Augé, that world powers spawned science fiction. "China didn't like it for decades: SF was bourgeois, decadent. But China is now over. Recently, an article about the new Chinese production code appeared in the film magazine Variety: that those films should always present China as a positive advanced nation. I also teach propaganda at the university, it naturally coincides with this: what story do you tell about the future of a country? "
It is also interesting to Augé that Nazi Germany did not like the genre. "1,100 films were produced under the Nazis, not one was science fiction."
The fact that the country where the Frenchman ended up (because of love) and now lives and works, produces little or no science fiction, Augé does not consider it self-evident. "The Netherlands is just a small country" - why do you say that? Such nonsense! The Netherlands is one of twenty of the largest economies, you are a fake small country. By the way: Denmark and Sweden are smaller, but they do make science fiction there. Have you seen Aniara, that Swedish science fiction movie from 2018? Really really good. Or that Swedish television series Real Humans? Why shouldn't that be possible in the Netherlands? The question to Dutch filmmakers is: do you have nothing meaningful to say about the future? "
The same question, says the university lecturer, he put to some African diplomats on the morning of the conversation with de Volkskrant. But then as a teacher at the Clingendael Institute, where Augé trains diplomats (he himself worked for years at the French embassy in Beirut). "This morning I spoke about the significance of Black Panther with diplomats from countries such as Mauritania and Senegal. That American film shows Africa as the new and highly developed superpower, something that I think could also become reality. "
The films from the Nature Strikes Back! Screened this week on Imagine. - programs have not been selected by Augé. 'I am curious. Of course I know Waterworld. Recently - coincidentally - I tried to revise again, but I quit halfway through. Jesus, that was not easy. Perhaps I should persevere. You can also sometimes learn something from the worst futuristic films. "

Het Imagine Film Festival gelooft in sciencefiction, want de toekomstfilm kan ons redden

In de Chinese toekomstfilm Last Sunrise begint de zon uit te doven en koelt de aarde af.
De natuur die terugslaat als festivalthema. Zo hadden ze het bedacht bij het Imagine Film Festival, lang voordat het jaarlijkse evenement afgelopen april zou plaatsvinden. En toen mepte de natuur, waartoe we het al dan niet op een Chinese dierenmarkt geboren coronavirus gemakshalve ook rekenen, inderdaad terug. Zozeer dat de hele festivaleditie werd afgeblazen. Nu, tegen het einde van de zomer, presenteert Imagine alsnog een hybride editie. Deels online, deels in Amsterdamse theaters.
Dat film, en in het bijzonder het futuristische of sciencefictiongenre, ons kan helpen de natuur in toom te houden, is vrijdagavond onderwerp van een online paneldiscussie. Een van de sprekers is de Franse historicus en filmliefhebber Etienne Augé (46), die onder meer sciencefiction (gedefineerd als ‘de geschiedenis van de toekomst') doceert aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. De grootste misvatting over sciencefictionfilms, zegt Augé in een telefonisch interview, is dat die de toekomst behoren te ‘voorspellen’.
