2014 is going to be a great year for film and we are happy to announce that Portsmouth Short Film Night will be continuing for another year after four great events last year.  For our first film night of 2014 we have created the line-up from 200+ submissions from around the globe. We have an award winning crime drama, a quirky comedy and a documentary made for the American Recipe Project all from local filmmakers as well as a touching story of friendship from France and a few special surprises — showcasing the best independent short films from local, national and international talent. If you are a cinema lover, or you want to see something a little different, come to the next Portsmouth Short Film Night at 7pm, Friday, February 28 at PPMtv. As well as fantastic films we will have special Q&As with the filmmakers, and the opportunity to hang out and talk film afterwards.

Portsmouth Short Film Night is a free event for independent filmmakers to screen and discuss their work and for cinema lovers to get a front row seat to emerging and established talent. It is brought to new venues across Portsmouth by Film Unbound and 3S Artspace.
