The Portable Film Festival

A tiny word from the people at Portable.
www.portablefilmfestival.com

Speak to anyone who has attended a free bar event recently and

Especially when that good thing is champagne. But here at Portable
we deal in content not alcohol, and we’re chucking the stuff
around like there’s no tomorrow.

There are over 450 free downloads featuring some of the year’s
best short films, music videos from Willy Mason and The Shins,
and online serials including Lonely Girl 15 and Galacticast.
