Fringe Flicks: Absurd Performance – Surreal Short Films feat. Hotel Kalura
Liverpool’s underground short film night returns this October with a programme of surreal, absurd, and boundary-pushing cinema.
🎬 Featured short: Hotel Kalura (Sophie Koko Gate, UK)
A dazzling animated tale set on the romantic island of Sicily. From the director shortlisted for the 2023 Film London Jarman Award.
✨ The lineup:
Alongside Hotel Kalura, experience 12 short films from across the globe — from monster comedies and DIY horror to poetic hauntings and experimental absurdities. Expect work from the UK, US, Iran, Spain, France, Sweden, Estonia, and Ireland.
🍹 On the night:
- Pay What You Can entry
- Free ticket + drink for PVTV Patreon supporters
- Audience Choice Award, with the winner receiving a free DCP courtesy of The DCP Works
📍 Venue: DoES Liverpool, The Tapestry, Kempston Street
🕢 Doors 19:30 / Screening 19:50
Fringe Flicks is curated by People Versus TV CIC — a grassroots collective dedicated to showcasing strange, bold, and experimental cinema. Whether it’s lo-fi, dreamlike, or defiantly unmarketable, this is cinema with bite, wit, and heart.
