A provocative and political programme of film screenings, workshops, panels and parties is promised across a range of venues in East London this month. Started as a not-for-profit response to arts funding cuts , the festival is dedicated to showing the best in queer film-making from basic to high-budget.
The works of 141 film makers will be on show – 60 per cent of them female, trans or non-binary.
Since 2011, Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest has been an entirely volunteer-run organisation rooted in London’s queer creative scene. In Novembers, and throughout the year, they showcase an eclectic mix of films, arts and events celebrating LGBTIQA+ stories from around the world, welcoming everybody. Other highlights of this years festival include;
Panels on queer science fiction and drag queen story time for kids and families are also being staged, along with events about the social history of poppers.
From feature films to experimental installations, workshops and lively debates to wild parties, Fringe! hosts a multitude of diverse events to tickle every one of the senses. You’ll see them flooding East London’s cinemas, art galleries, pop-up venues and basement clubs with the powerful, provocative and strange.
The festival runs from 12 -17 November at various East London venues.
