Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest

Ten years after its inaugural event, this entirely volunteer-run LGBTQ+ cinema and art festival returns with another bumper programme of films, art, workshops and parties across East London. Cinemas including the Rio, Genesis, the Castle and the Barbican will be screening an eclectic mixture of queer-themed shorts, documentaries and feature films, while you can also take part in everything from queer creative writing workshops and literary talks to a queer self-defence boxing group and even a spanking masterclass. In the evenings, LGBTQ+ venues including Dalston Superstore, The Glory and Colours Hoxton will be hosting afterparties.
