Close Encounters With A Different Way Of Life

“If ever I meet someone society has designated as an outcast, I invariably feel affection for him, an emotion which carries me away in melting tenderness.” ― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

What is it like to live outside the mainstream of society? What can we learn from people whose lives are not only radically different from our own, but from most people in their societies? Outcasts, a MadeGood Film Festival featuring extraordinary documentary films from around the world, will bring us on a curated adventure of everyday experiences, challenges, relationships and emotions that we may never have encountered before.

Are people living on the fringe really so different from us? What can we learn from their stories? See and explore these MadeGood films and find out for yourself.

Stay tuned for a complete timetable of events.

Living on the edge of society

Living outside the conventional bubble can be a choice, but often it's not. People marginalised by society have to try and find a different way to live. Photographers in Kyoto, New York, Ireland and beyond have gone to show us these communities from the inside. The results are more familiar than you might think.
