Fringe of Colour Films is a hybrid arts festival celebrating the creative work of Black, Asian, Indigenous and Latine people in Scotland and around the world, through in-person film screenings, discussions and performances, as well as an online streaming service, publishing platform and podcast series. Summerhall is the festival’s first ever in-person venue, after two remarkable years producing the festival online. This year, we aim to explore what it means to be truly hybrid, thinking intentionally about the importance of communal experiences, while also honouring the experiences of our audiences joining from their homes.
Users of British Sign Language, Audio Descriptions and English Captions are invited to participate in the programme, which will be fully equipped with these access tools. If you have any questions about the accessibility of the festival, please check Fringe of Colour Films website FAQs.
Funded by Screen Scotland and Creative Scotland.
Please consult the Fringe of Colour Films website for individual event listings along with any content warnings/age restrictions. Unless indicated otherwise, all film screenings are 18+.
"Grassroots projects such as Fringe of Colour Films aren’t about just filling a gap while the Edinburgh fringe is away, but creating new ways to engage with art in the future"Guardian
"Fringe of Colour's emergence has been one of the Edinburgh Festivals' most exciting developments in recent years. From its inception in 2018 as a database of Fringe shows by artists of colour, FoC has run free ticketing schemes, networking events, panels, parties, and, last year, an expertly-curated online film festival of its own"Skinny
"In the age of the Black Lives Matter campaign, no recent Fringe initiative matters more than the Fringe Of Colour project, launched in 2018 by Edinburgh-based writer Jess Brough to challenge the Edinburgh Fringe’s well-earned reputation as a creative playground overwhelmingly dominated by the work and preferences of wealthy white people"Scotsman
