Experience Unique Cinema with Fringe Flicks
Discover a World of Thought-Provoking Films
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.
The next Fringe Flicks is

Get ready for the next exciting instalment of Fringe Flicks! We're thrilled to announce that our feature film for the evening will be the action-packed comedy, Kung Fu Hustle, directed by and starring Stephen Chow.
