Spaces
We will be using the following spaces at Summerhall for in-person screenings and events.
Other Spaces:
In-Person Films
Every film in the programme will screen in-person with either British Sign Language interpretation & Closed Captions, or Audio Descriptions.
These screenings will happen simultaneously in two different spaces within the Summerhall venue, so please ensure you navigate to the appropriate space listed in the programme.
In-Person Events
For screenings with complementary live events – for example post-screening Q&As and discussions – in-person audiences will reconvene together in a central space. These spaces are listed in the programme under their respective events. Members of the Fringe of Colour Films team will be on hand to guide you from your screening to the appropriate space.
All events are free for In-Person Pass Holders. Unless otherwise stated, it is not necessary to book. Simply show your pass at the door.
If you have any issues navigating Summerhall during the festival or if you require any other information about the venue please go to the Summerhall box office or look out for a member of the Fringe of Colour Films team.

Being able to invite children to events ensures that parents are not only able to attend but can do so guilt free, knowing their children are having a good time too.
