A film that is very much about obsession, glory days, high school memories and other scary stuff, it will be happily joined at the festival by Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Utopia will open this year with a festive screening of Edgar Wright’s The World’s End, completing the Cornetto trilogy with the ultimate pub crawl.

The full program may be found on the festival website (in Hebrew, with film titles in Hebrew & English). Utopia General Director and founder Uri Aviv has curated ten days of films, conferences, exhibitions and activities. The Utopia Festival will take place from September 21 – 30, 2013 at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. Utopia – the International Festival of Science, Imagination and the Future – what does that mean? Serious fun for Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Genre fans with films, video game extravaganza, Sci-fi fringe theatre, and Geek Stand-Up Comedy – YES! But it’s just as much about the connection between science and the imagination, examining science, technology, social and moral issues, exploring the myriad utopias and dystopias, fostering lively discussion, and encouraging all to take an active role in imagining and determining the future.
