Making Waves Festival

Back to all posts

Making Waves is a film festival for people who are passionate about watching cinema, filmmaking and creativity in Portsmouth and the Solent region. No6 shares this passion so of course we are delighted to be partnering with MW to make things happen. Making Waves is pretty much taking over at No6 this week: three events with three very different flavours.

Ali and Ava meet and a deep connection begins to grow, despite the legacy of Ava's past relationship, and Ali's emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage.

On Thursday evening we will be screening the much acclaimed Ali and Ava, Clio Barnard’s streetwise tale with the power of song which turns it into a diegetic musical. There will be a Q&A in the bar before the screening with the film’s composer Harry Escott accompanied by nibbles and drinks…Bar opens at 6.00pm

A Making Waves Film Festival fundraiser in aid of the humanitarian crisis in The Ukraine; a night of spoken word, music, film and performance responding to the theme of ‘Home’.

Rather a departure from the norm on Friday evening. In response to the war in Ukraine we will be hosting an evening of spoken word, music, film and performance responding to the theme of Home. Book via our website- you can choose how much to donate for your ticket, 100% of what you give will go to the DEC Ukraine appeal. This promises to be a lot of fun and all in a very worthwhile cause. Show us the money!

After losing his oldest son in the war between Russia and Ukraine, Mustafa resolves to take the boy’s body to his native land: Crimea.

Homeward on Saturday is a moving modern day Crimean war story, an emotional road trip across a war torn land. Today’s war in Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to conflict with Russia, the roots of these stories run deep.

Coming Soon...

OSCAR winning film CODA will be screening at No6 on Saturday 30th April at 7.00pm

A young woman who is the only hearing person in her deaf fishing family is torn between duty to them and pursuing her dreams of becoming a singer.

No.6 is taking a brief intermission - re-opening scheduled for May 9th is 6.30

Loyal regulars will be aware that we have had a few technical issues with some of our screenings recently. We have been working to resolve these, and have been pleased that our most recent showings, including lengthy films like Dune: Part 2 and Apocalypse Now, have worked okay. But we feel it’s unfair on you to be crossing our fingers and hoping, we’d rather get things sorted properly.

The plan is to close for the next two weeks and hopefully return on Thursday 9th May. Keep an eye on the No.6 website and newsletter for confirmation or otherwise, and of course to find out what we will be showing when we do return. Thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding.
