If you're in New York, then I know what you're going to be doing for the next nine days. The Imagine Science Film Festival kicks off today and runs until the 25th. The highlight is probably Sleep Dealer, the movie about people south of the border doing all our shit work via telepresence. But there's also A Biometric Tale, a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in a world where biometrics are ubiquitous; The Wormhole, about a boy who tries to find a wormhole so he can travel back in time and save his family; and California King, about a mattress salesman who uses Newtonian physics to pick up girls. Admit it: You've just forgotten whatever it was you had planned this weekend. [Gothamist]
