NEW SHORTS: Fringe! B-Movie Resistance
13:00 Sat 18 Jan 2020
When the going gets tough, the queers grab our cameras and make DIY, B-movie resistance films bursting with political power, revolt, and lashings of glitter. From a much-needed rewrite of the creation story, to zombie drag queens and goth punks… It’s so much more fun on the B-side! Programmed by Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Festival. 95’
This programme contains scenes of bullying, homophobia, transphobia, discussion of historic trauma and comedic horror based gore.
