Making Waves Film Festival

Posted on -

Back to all posts No6 Cinema are proud to be partnering with Making Waves Film Festival, A film festival for people who are passionate about watching cinema, film-making, and creativity in Portsmouth and the Solent region.

April is nearly upon us which gets the thumbs up from most of us but a bit of a need to brace oneself in the cinema exhibition sector. As the days get longer and warmer don’t forget the best place to be is in a dark cinema watching an incredible film, too much sun can be very ageing.

Making Waves Film Festival is Portsmouth’s annual film festival and short film competition celebrating innovative and bold filmmaking that inspires audiences. Now in its tenth year, Making Waves aims to develop local talent and new filmmakers whilst building national and international links.

No6 is delighted to be a partner in this endeavour and presents a number of events and screenings hand in glove with Making Waves.

At 6.00pm on 31st March (Belfast) and 7th April (River) pre main feature we will be showing two sets of shorts. Your ticket price includes shorts and the main feature: come for part or all of the event.

Thursday 21st April we will be screening Ali and Ava with a pre-screening Q&A with the film's composer Harry Escott. Music is a key part of this film so this will be a fascinating conversation.

On Friday 22nd April, Front Room presents Home, an evening of spoken word, film and performance. This is a fundraiser for Ukraine with all donations going to the Disasters Emergency Committee.

Saturday 23rd April we will be screening Homeward, a Ukrainian film which is more about the historic friction between Russia and Ukraine.
 

A documentary that tells the story of a decades-long friendship that drives an architect and a biomedical scientist to make the weirdest music you've ever heard in your life.

Even though CODA won the award for Best Picture at last night's Oscars, No6 has chosen to screen Belfast again on Thursday as it made its way straight to our hearts.

A documentary that tells the story of a decades-long friendship that drives an architect and a biomedical scientist to make the weirdest music you've ever heard in your life.

Friday evening is guaranteed to be quirky and fun with Renaldo and the Loaf making an appearance for the screening of 23rd Century Giants. Roy Hanney will be VJing (deejaying with video) RATL artwork and music in the bar from 6.00pm.

All the power on earth can't change destiny.

Even richer and spellbinding than its predecessor, The Godfather Part II is Saturday night’s movie.

Coming Soon...

After the recent discovery of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship The Endurance complete and eerily intact, South screening on 14th April at 7.00pm will be an even more poignant watch.  

Considered the world’s first documentary feature, this is the story of the 1914-1916 Antarctic exploration mission of Sir Ernest Shackleton.

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

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.
