To know him was to love him...

Back to all posts A tormenting and surprising story of children and adults during the stormy days of the summer of 1965.

Anyone who knew John Holland our former Chair and much respected founder member of No6 Cinema will know how much lovers of independent film owe him. He was the dedicated and dependable force behind No6 and devoted many hundreds of hours to the cinema, it wouldn’t have become the establishment it is today without him. Sadly we lost him at the beginning of the year from lymphoma, but to commemorate his contribution we are having a special tea and cake event at the cinema and a screening of one of his favourite films Moonrise Kingdom. In order to know how many Victoria sponges, chocolate, ginger and fruit cakes to prepare we are asking people to book online so no one goes without a celebratory slice. All profits will be split between The Lymphoma Research Trust and Rowans Hospice, so if you are intending to come please, please, please get booking so we can get baking!

Join us for the final screening of the remarkable story of how Pompey were saved, told by the people that loved them most.

Wednesday evening and we have our final, final screening of Our Club, the definitive story of the fall and rise of Pompey Football Club. It isn’t on the paper programme but it is on the website and available to book online.
It starts at 7.00pm, beers available at the bar. Kick back and enjoy, it’s really rather good.

Halla becomes a determined environmental activist, but this threatens a long-held dream.

Our monthly matinee this Thursday is Woman at War, starring the mother of all green goddesses, Halla the environmental warrior. With free tea and biscuits, subtitles and great value ticket prices, what’s not to like! Film starts at 4.15pm.

Oblivion awaits.

Thursday night’s film is High Life, Robert Pattinson heads to infinity and beyond but this is no toy story. From French director Claire Denis this is a stellar space drama with sex rooms, babies, and Juliette Binoche with amazing hair! What a piece of work!

Survival is its own journey.

Stop complaining about the polar vortex…and come and see Mads Mikkelsen in Arctic on Friday night

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.
