TRANAS AT THE FRINGE 2–9 July
TRANAS AT THE FRINGE 2–9 July International screening of experimental films and videopoems
If you can get there try to visit Tranas this year, where there are three sections, literature, film and performance arts. I have a great respect for their curations and their details are very enticing!
Tranås at the Fringe is a multidisciplinary arts festival in the small town of Tranås (Sweden), a charming place on the edge of lake Sommen, surrounded by the woodlands of Småland.
For eight days, artists from Sweden and other countries from different disciplines in literature, film and performing arts meet and put on about 100 events.
I am very proud and pleased to have my family history poetry film Firewash in the film section on ‘Ancestors in Me’ and would dearly liked to have gone, but I have just come back from a working holiday and I had to take that opportunity. But the idea of taking time out at Tranas feels a perfect place to reconnect with yourself – and discover some amazing artists. Next year!
