LABOCINE stands for LABOratory + CINEma. It's a beautiful and necessary symbiosis affair.

LABOCINE has many identities: a platform, a magazine, a portal, an archive, a network et al.

LABOCINE's utopian dream is to disrupt the status quo of the streaming business by allowing for more transparency, access, data and tools. It wants to tackle some existential questions around filmmaking. How do narratives come to life? What is the process + evolution of a film? Who is making and who is watching?

LABOCINE is the home of the Science New Wave where scientific pursuit is free to co-exist and blend freely across disciplines and cultures. That's our origin story. The embryonic idea came into being one hot desert afternoon. It soon split away from its parental cell (Imagine Science Films) taking on an autonomous existence and reflecting all the excitement, diversity, and fresh ideas of a new and growing organism.
