Portsmouth100 Film
A century of pride, a future of possibility
A special film has been commissioned to mark Portsmouth100, shining a light on the city, its residents and culture in this momentous year. It celebrates Portsmouth's past and looks ahead to a bright future.
Commissioned by Portsmouth City Council and created by Global Fire, the 12-minute film is part of the year-long programme of events, exhibitions and community activities in 2026, marking the 100th anniversary of Portsmouth being officially granted city status.
It brings together archive footage with interviews and video content from across the city today, exploring themes that bring together the history of Portsmouth and its communities - with its vibrant and diverse contemporary cultural landscape.
Where else to see the film
The Portsmouth100 film has been shown at events and on big screens around the city during the centenary year, as well as by organisations that are part of the Portsmouth100 programme. The film will continue to be shown on the Big Screen in Guildhall Square, and has also been aired at Portsmouth Football Club home games, at screenings at Number 6 and Southsea Community Cinema, on screens at Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery, and at events like the Shaping Portsmouth conference.
If your organisation would like to use the film, please email your request to portsmouth100@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.
