Yes! And it has been so since the 2nd ... but there's still lots ahead until the 19th .
The Portobello Film Festival is one of the last vestiges of the Punk era born out of a true situationist attitude. It has been with us since 1996 and it never lost its strength or character. It's a unique showcase of films from across the planet and it's all free!
In their own words: The Film Festival was created as a reaction to the moribund state of the British film industry, to provide a forum for new film-makers and give exposure to movies on different formats. Many of our previously out-on-a-limb directors have since been recognised by the big fish in the industry. The festival has been dubbed ‘the wild side of Brit Film’ (Metro), ‘this pioneering film festival’ (Evening Standard), ‘the biggest celebration of independent film in Europe’ (The Independent) and ‘London’s biggest filmic free-for-all’ (Time Out). That the Portobello Film Festival shows tomorrow’s films today is evident in the number of ideas first presented here that regularly crop up in the mainstream.
