This year our community hub is in cyberspace. It may not be the same breathy sweatboxes that we’re used to seeing each other in, but we’re creating a world you can visit straight from your homes with many opportunities to gather, chat and cruise.
With chat rooms, a Missed Connections board, a school, a library… this is a virtual gaybourhood of our own. Think Hackers (1996) meets the future of our dreams. 2020 is a different world, but we are still here to connect with all of you, so we learnt to code, and started imagining a new world. We hope you like it.
THE HUB WILL BE GEOBLOCKED TO THE UK
Always Amber - 19:00
dirs. Hannah Reinikainen Bergeman, Lia Hietala | Sweden 2020 | 74'
'If I lived with my friends on a deserted island where there are no norms, I might not need to be here' says non-binary 17 year old Amber at the gender clinic.
Comprising home video and social media footage over the 17 years of Amber's self-defined life, and a brilliant punky soundtrack, this film is a feat of modern storytelling and a touching record of gender today.
Who We Are - 20:40
Short Film Programme | 101'
The journey of becoming our great queer shining selves is not always the easiest, but the end result can be FABULOUS. These beautiful short films about self discovery proudly show what we are made of and who we are.
CW: Visual and audio depictions of medical surgery.
Drag Bedtime Stories - 22:40
Once you have had all the queer cinematic magic you little hearts can handle, let some of Fringe’s favourite drag artists send you off to into the land of slumber with some night time tales, sure to make your dreams that little more fabulous.
