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. From Metropolis to The Shining and from Inception to The Grand Budapest Hotel, architecture and design continue to play a vital part in creating a new or altered reality.
