Last year Fringe of Colour launched an online film festival and as part of that programme, we commissioned a collection of new work by some talented artists. To celebrate those films, we are revisiting conversations with the filmmakers.

In the second of our specials, Briana Pegado journeys through some of the themes which have threaded through the Fringe of Colour Films festival. Exploration surrounding stories of lived experience through humour, queerness, sexual and gender expression as well as identities of people of colour and Blackness globally are some of the core aspects and inspirations for our creators. The work they create from these various themes is astounding and continues to show how immeasurable the imagination is.

This episode features interview excerpts from A.T., Mandla Rae, Esme Allman and Jess Brough. 

Fringe of Colour films is running online from the 1st - 15th August. You can find more information at fringeofcolour.co.uk
