PVTV Fringe Flicks

Liverpool, United Kingdom


Submissions now open for Fringe Flicks:

Season 4 – a quarterly, underground cinema series in Liverpool curated by People Versus TV (PVTV). We’re looking for short films that embrace the strange, the satirical, the surreal, and the subversive.

Whether you’re an outsider artist or a polished provocateur, we want your work — especially if it’s funny, furious, anarchic, unconventional, absurd, or just plain weird.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome submissions from filmmakers, video artists, and hybrid creators working in:

- Experimental cinema
- Surreal, absurdist, and dreamlike shorts
- Political and social satire (especially that punches up)
- DIY, lo-fi, or formally inventive filmmaking
- Narratives that challenge norms or twist expectations

We don’t care if your camera’s cheap — we care that your vision is bold.

Why Submit to Fringe Flicks?

Fringe Flicks champions short films that don’t fit the mainstream festival mould. We screen to real, engaged audiences in Liverpool’s underground arts scene, and we value imagination over polish. Our screenings are social, low-pressure, and focused on creative exchange.

On top of all that, our Audience Choice Award that now includes a free DCP for future work, thanks to The DCP Works. Whether you're a DIY filmmaker, emerging artist, or experimental veteran, this is a space for cinema that bites, glitches, provokes and delights.

Who Can Submit?

We welcome submissions from anyone, anywhere — regardless of background, training, or budget. We especially value voices that aren’t often heard in mainstream film spaces, but most of all we’re looking for imaginative stories told in distinctive ways. Tell the stories you want to tell, in the way only you can.

Screening Details

Selected films will screen at:
- Fringe Flicks: Season 4
- Hosted at DoES Liverpool (The Tapestry, 68–76 Kempston St, L3 8HL)
- Pay What You Can, not-for-profit events
- Dates: Friday 15 May, September, and November 2026

Each event includes a curated mix of experimental shorts across two halves, with an intermission, refreshments and community atmosphere. The bar stays open after the screenings, providing an excellent opportunity for filmmakers and audience members to connect, network, and share their thoughts.

How to Submit

Submissions are open exclusively on Festhome.

Contact Information:
For questions, please email us at peopleversustv@gmail.com.

We can’t wait to see your work and celebrate all things unconventional, surreal, and creative with you at Fringe Flicks!

Mostra Cinepoesia, Videopoesia, Cinepoetry Film Festival, Experimental Cinema

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


Mostra Cinepoesia 2025 is an action that promotes dialogue between cinema and poetry, with the screening of experimental short films, kinetic poetry or video poetry made by filmmakers, poets and multi- or transdisciplinary artists for a cinematographic event.

The event proposes the selection of approximately 20 authorial works for the screenings, unpublished or not, among them those selected from subscribers, guests and the Mostra collection.

We are looking for synergy between images, sounds and words in the works submitted. The presence of poetry is essential in the audiovisual works selected, whether narrated, spoken, sung or written.

This way of making cinepoetry is a powerful inspiration for us and opens doors for directors who work with materiality in contemporary poetics, using language experiments.

Our 2025 tribute goes to Lúcia Murat, an important Brazilian filmmaker. We highlight her experimental cine-poetic spirit, her ability to wander between documentary and fictional cinema, and her historical movement of resistance and memory of women's body-territory.

For the 2025 edition, Mostra Cinepoesia has confirmed the following dates:

21.06- Call for Proposals Opening

31.08- Call for Proposals closes

10.09- List of Selected Works.

29.10- Premiere of the in-person screening at the Cinemateca do MAM in Rio de Janeiro.

30.10- Premiere of the Screening and Opening of the Popular Jury at the Cinemateca do MAM online.

The competing works will be judged through this platform, and the awards ceremony and screening of the shorts will be held in Giardini Naxos, in Piazzetta dei Limoni, on Sunday, September 21, 2025.

The Festival was founded with the aim of highlighting new talent, promoting social cinema, and celebrating the connection with Sicily. The Festival is dedicated to the memory of Carmelo Feliciotto, a lover of cinema and culture.
From a young age, Carmelo Feliciotto demonstrated a particular sensitivity to social and political issues. An activist in the ranks of the Young Communists of Giardini Naxos, he distinguished himself for his commitment to promoting the values of justice and social equality, which characterized the 1970s. Music and arthouse cinema have been his great passions. Professionally, he has conceived and implemented important music and video projects about Sicily, with particular reference to cultural and popular traditions. In the late 1990s, Carmelo was appointed councilor for sport, tourism, and entertainment in Giardini Naxos, leaving an indelible mark on his dedication, competence, integrity, and great ability.
