The Fringe, Fame and Me
Self
The Fringe, Fame and Me is the story of how a small Scottish arts festival that began 75 years ago this year became a national institution – a crucible where new stars are forged, careers made, and sometimes, dreams dashed. Told by the stars who first found fame at the Edinburgh Fringe, this is the inside story of what it takes to make a name here, from those who enjoyed overnight success to those who slogged for years to make it. Through their triumphs, favourite jokes, and sometimes painful failures, we’ll discover a hidden history of British comedy – revealing how the gags we find funny and the comedians we love reflect our changing culture.

Self (archive footage)
Documental sobre la famosa cantante británica Amy Winehouse, que cuenta con imágenes inéditas de archivo y entrevistas con la malograda estrella, que murió en julio del 2011 a los veintisiete años de edad por parada cardíaca a consecuencia de sus excesos con las drogas y el alcohol, adicciones agravadas por su bulimia.
