CineFringe
CineFringe is an independent film collective based in the UK that organises the CineFringe Film Festival as part of the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world. http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/102601-bringing-film-back-to-the-festival The number of applications has doubled in its first three years. CineFringe also runs film events in the UK as well as a website and blog for independent filmmakers.

CineFringe Film Festival predominantly screens short films on an open entry basis, entered from all over the world including North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The festival also often screens work from filmmakers local to the Edinburgh area. Prior to screening a film at CineFringe Film Festival the directors are given the opportunity to provide a short introduction to their film. These introductions are screened before each film during the festival and provide filmmakers with the opportunity to tell their audience about their film.

In August 2012, CineFringe screened its first feature length film, a Scottish premiere of the Sundance Award Winning documentary, Indie Game: The Movie.

The screening was made up of a selection of films from the Edinburgh screening as well as a special one off live music event featuring Bristol based musician Jilk who played to experimental films.
