Art & Comics

Besides films, VR and specials, Imagine showcases art that fits our festival themes, created by artists we love.

This year, we’re hosting an exhibition and live talkshow about the new comic anthology Bloeddorst #2, presented by Martin Koolhoven. Find out more below.

Exhibition: Bloeddorst #2 Imagined

Bloeddorst #2 is a unique collection of horror comics, presented by director and horror fan Martin Koolhoven. Eight filmmakers provided the backbone for the comic artists to work with. The book is brand new, and the exhibition Bloeddorst #2 – Imagined offers a one-of-a-kind look behind the scenes!  

The exhibition includes a selection of A2 ‘film posters’ tied into the comics, made by the artists themselves. It also has still from the Bloeddorst #2 album and scaled-up comic pages. You’ll also find a bloody copy of the comic for your reading pleasure. Who dares? 

This exhibition is located in the basement of LAB111 for the entire Imagine festival period. Entrance is free.

Talkshow: Martin Koolhoven Presents Bloeddorst #2

During the Martin Koolhoven presents: Bloeddorst #2 talkshow in LAB111’s Kapelzaal, the Dutch and Flemish comic artists and filmmakers of the brand-new horror comic anthology Bloeddorst #2 will discuss the state of horror, the link between cinema and comics, and of course their own collaborations.  

Bloeddorst #2 is a unique, 160-page collection of horror comics, presented by director and horror fan Martin Koolhoven. Eight filmmakers provided the backbone for the comic artists to work with. Guests on the talk show include Ate de Jong and Maarten Gerritsen (Hellcop), Bodil Matheeuwsen and Sterric (#ScareMe) and David-Jan Bronsgeest and Gerrit Willemse (Animaniak). Expect contributions from Martin Koolhoven, Floor de Goede, Peet Gelderblom and more. 

The book can of course also be purchased and signed after the talkshow.  

This talkshow takes place on Saturday, November 1st at 4:30pm, in LAB111’s Kapelzaal. Entrance is free.
