Fringe Flicks is a series of film nights in Liverpool run by People Versus TV. We showcase short films, videos, and feature-length films that are unconventional, experimental, subversive, or just downright stupid. Our events provide a platform for artists to present their work and for audiences to experience unique and thought-provoking cinema. Fringe Flicks aims to create a space for creative expression and offers a chance for people interested in weird film to meet each other and chat.
