Taking Up Space is a film festival within Scranton Fringe Festival that showcases the works of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color) filmmakers. The mission of Taking Up Space is to lift the voices of historically excluded racial and ethnic narratives. Documentary, narratives, animation, experimental, and all other genres of short films will be highlighted. Thanks to a generous donation from PA American Water, all 2024 screenings are presented free to the public.

This special venture is presented by Park Multimedia, Black Scranton Project, and Scranton Fringe. The artistic director of Taking Up Space is Dan Kimbrough.
