FRINGES

STORY

“After an old friend comes knocking on the door seeking help,

Jorge and Arina become the targets of several unwelcome visitors,

getting caught in the middle of a dangerous situation”

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

" Fringes’ origins come from my appreciation and artistic interpretation of the current state of affairs in our politics, the fear-mongering being pushed by our political leaders and the media. A fear towards immigrants, people of different ideologies, our neighbors. A fear that has turned into hate which has now caused pain and left a mark in our communities"
