Portobello Film Festival 2026
3-20 September


1


Welcome to Portobello 2026: a free arts and film party for Portobello/Ladbroke Grove for 31 years now. Focussing on counterculture we’re celebrating the area’s front line past, present and future.

For the future of local, UK and International film we give you an 18 days free feast of brand new independent/underground movies by up-and-coming filmmakers using new techniques and visions enjoying artistic freedoms and innovations not present in the increasingly corporate and unimaginative mainstream.
We’re remembering the glory days of the psychedelic 60s centred as ever on the fulcrum of W10/W10 and the amazing One Foot In The Grove street art extravaganza under the Westway in 2009.
We’re exhibiting the latest work by Carrie Reichardt and her Treatment Room collective who created the mosaic on Acklam Road for One Foot In The Grove which has been there now for 17 years and features as this year’s poster. If you look closely at the yellow tiles you will see the music and arts story of Portobello Road over the past 70 years.
