After ten years,
the Imaginarium @ Cornerstone Festival (June 30-July
4) remains both one of the fest's most popular venues, but
also most misunderstood. (No doubt the rubber chickens don't
help.) But while we're all about childlike wonder, don't mistake
the Imaginarium for a "kid's program". Year after year, the
daily seminars boast a lineup that offer a unique cross between
a university culture studies department and a Sherlockian
Society meeting. The combination is combustable. Just ask
any longtime attendee who probably stuck his head in the tent
out of sheer curiosity years ago and got sucked in. It happens
all the time. Check out this year's schedule and it might
happen to you. * For more film-related programming
