Counter Social: Film Edition in collaboration with Fringe of Colour

Please note this event will not be livestreamed and is in-person only.

Like chatting books and ideas, but not into book clubs?

Want to meet folk interested in exploring the same worlds as you but not sure where to find them?

Counter Socials are the not-a-book-club bookshop run social that's just the thing for you!

Find us each month at Summerhall's gallery bar where we'll have a new theme and a few words from a selection of local writers, artists, activists or performers whose work intersects with that topic.

June's topic is FILM in honour of the Fringe Of Colour Films festival taking place at Summerhall this June! A chance to find out about Edinburgh and Scotland's vibrant film scene and hear a bit more about Fringe of Colour, make connections with film enthusiasts, documentary makers, directors and viewers.

You can rock up with friends for a lit-salon style night out, you can come solo and be introduced to others in the room, listen in to the 20mins of speakers or tuck yourself away to read with one of the themed texts we've brought along for you to browse.

Readings/Speakers will kick off around 6.30pm, so there is time to grab a drink or settle down before - our new partners in crime from the fabulousMF Coffee Project do coffees and teas, wine and beer and some very tasty food too.

Please not if you have a Fringe of Colour pass you do not need to book to attend, just rock up and join us!
