DVMISSION PRESENTS 2024 is on Saturday 9th March at The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth, UK at 7.30 pm-12 am (with free after-party).

DVMISSION PRESENTS is a themed immersive cinema experience, a glittering premiere screening and an awards night all rolled into one. It takes the idea of an awards night into uncharted lands.

In 2023 we created a galaxy-wide storyworld with Things to Come, a space opera that adventured into the unknown.

In 2022 we celebrated the wonderful world of Hammer House of Horror for The Return of DVMISSION – The 26th Day as we came back to being a real-world event.

In 2021 we asked you to be spies like us for DVMISSION IMPOSSIBLE, our first fully online event that took us into the dark underworld of cold war spies and 1960’s espionage thrillers.

In 2020 we saved the city from an invasion of alien robots for THE DAY THAT POMEPY STOOD STILL a take on the classic sci-fi film The Day the earth Stodd Still complete with a killer robot (seriously – take a look at the highlights video).

In 2019 we took you into the murky world of downtown 1960’s Tokyo for POMPEY DRIFTER, a noirish vision of the swinging sixties, for a night of high drama.

In 2018 we brought you FROM DUSK TILL DAWN OF THE DEAD and asked you to imagine how it would be if George A. Romero had teamed up with Quentin Tarantino and then we created that story world.

In 2017 we staged DA DA LAND and asked you to imagine what it would have been like if David Lynch directed La La Land then we threw you into an imaginary world of Lynchian characters.

DVMISSION PRESENTS is a night of boutique immersive cinema in which the audience becomes part of the narrative. Watch short films produced by local filmmakers especially for the night and vote for the best in our “The audience raved about it” award! Take part in this red-carpet awards ceremony which will see the presentation of the much-coveted Pompey Oscars then join the after-party for a night of hedonistic revelry.

What they said about our events in previous years:

“The screening itself was by far the most fun, most immersive festival experience I’ve ever had” (Ben Grace, Three Bus Stops Outside Shirley Southampton, 2018).

“It’s the Sex Pistols meets the Oscars!” Audience feedback (2008)

“It’s better than Christmas!” Audience feedback (2011)

DVMISSION PRESENTS has a dress code: costume de rigueur for carnival, so anything that is themed, blinged, cocktail, black tie, white tie, posh frocks, mysticore, my little pony. Interpret the dress code as you wish but do make an effort or our diligent security team may refuse entry (there will be furry costumes available to borrow for those who don’t at least make an effort).

This year there will also be PRIZES for the BEST FANCY DRESS so even more incentive to get glammed up in response to this year’s theme.

Doors will open at 7.30 pm and the event runs to 12am including the after-party. So if you are ready for a PARTY then this is the night for you.

Tickets will be available in advance from the Wedgewood Rooms Box Office either online or in-person during normal opening hours. There are limited seats available so you are encouraged to get your tickets in advance. While we will be selling tickets on the night it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Pompey Oscars are awarded for:
