On August 23, 2025, the one-year anniversary of the release of the Imaginal Disk album, Magdalena Bay announced that they were in the process of making a feature film as a visual companion to the album.[2] Excerpts from the film in the form of music videos for the album’s tracks “Death & Romance”, “Fear, Sex”, “Image”, and “That’s My Floor” were released in 2024; Kramer is also credited as the director for these works.[3]

In April 2026, it was reported that the film was selected to screen at the Tribeca Festival.[4]

Imaginal Disk premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 4, 2026, and has since had a small amount of additional screenings at other locations. Director Amanda Kramer has stated that it is planned to eventually release the film via physical media and streaming, but a distributor has yet to be found; a direct-to-consumer DVD release of the film is set to release on January 27, 2027.[5]
