People Versus TV (PVTV) invites filmmakers, video artists, and creators of all stripes to submit their films for Season 3 of our Fringe Flicks series!
We’re on the lookout for unconventional work that defies norms and embraces the subversive, absurd, and surreal. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or just starting out, we want to see your bold and boundary-pushing creations.
What We’re Looking For
We’re passionate about work that’s:
- Weird, anarchic, and fun
- Absurdist, surreal, or experimental
- Satirical and subversive, especially satire that punches up
We encourage submissions from artists at any stage of their career, and we’re particularly interested in amplifying voices from underrepresented communities.
Why Submit to Fringe Flicks?
Fringe Flicks is not just a screening series—it’s a celebration of avant-garde, experimental, and boundary-pushing work in the moving image. By participating, your film will:
- Be showcased alongside like-minded creators in Liverpool, at the heart of the city’s creative and cultural Fabric District.
- Reach an audience eager for unique, challenging, and unconventional content.
- Have the chance to spark meaningful conversations with a vibrant and engaged community of cinephiles and creatives.
Event Details
Selected films will be shown at our Fringe Flicks Season 3 events, starting with 11th July 2025 at DoES Liverpool, with further events on 10th October 2025 and 6th February 2026.
Submissions are open now and close on 2nd May 2025. Notifications will be sent by 23rd May 2025.
All screenings are held at DoES Liverpool, 1st Floor, The Tapestry, 68-76 Kempston St, Liverpool, L3 8HL.
Event Structure
Each Fringe Flicks night is a curated mix of independent and experimental short films, divided into two halves with an intermission:
- First Half: A selection of shorter films showcasing creativity, experimentation, and storytelling.
- Second Half: A featured short film and longer works. If we select a feature film from this callout, it will be showcased in the second half.
The bar will remain open after the screenings, providing an excellent opportunity for filmmakers and audience members to connect, network, and share their thoughts.
What We Value
We’re focused on imagination and creativity over technical perfection, especially for shorter works. While longer works should exhibit high-quality storytelling, we’re less concerned with technical polish and more with the strength of your script, dialogue, and narrative.
Future Opportunities
If your work isn’t selected for one of our upcoming events, we may still consider it for future screenings. In that case, we’ll contact you first to confirm your interest.
