Art & Comics

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.

On Nov 1st, the creators will be discussing their work with Martin Koolhoven during a Bloeddorst #2 talkshow. Entrance is free, tickets can be reserved through the button below.

For Imagine 2025, production designer Fé Faber is paying tribute to the magic of practical effects. With her hand-made masks, she draws you into the unknown. The masks show creatures that hover between monster and man, between animal and ethereal, between the familiar and the utterly alien. These shadow creatures are a perfect match for this year’s festival theme, A Tentacular Touch.

About Fé Faber
Faber graduated as a production designer from the Dutch Film Academy, where she learned to transport the viewer to other worlds through set design. Since 2020, Faber has been working with hand-made masks — instead of transforming the setting, she transforms the characters.

Faber: ‘When I was young, practical effects were slowly being taken over by CGI. Now, at the start of my career, AI is becoming increasingly prevalent. My masks demonstrate just how powerful tangible physical effects can still be— instant, palpable experiences that are so important in genres like horror, fantasy and science fiction.’

This exhibition can be seen in Bar Strangelove in LAB111 from October 30th to November 9th.
