Experience Unique Cinema with Fringe Flicks
Discover a World of Thought-Provoking Films
Experimental short films in Liverpool
Fringe Flicks is a quarterly underground short film night curated by People Versus TV CIC, showcasing strange, bold, and experimental cinema from around the world alongside local and emerging voices. Each event features a curated lineup of local, national and international short films, from surreal micro-docs and animated oddities to lo-fi horror and poetic absurdities.
We champion work that pushes boundaries, plays with form, and speaks from the margins. Whether it’s DIY, dreamlike, or defiantly unmarketable, this is cinema with bite, wit, and heart.
