Short film from the 2026 National Film Festival exploring the gig economy, our relationship with technology and political satire.
NFF 2026 Shorts: Right Here, Right Now is showing at the Phoenix Picturehouse on Thursday 12 November, as part of the 2026 festival. The session runs for 90 minutes, and the main feature is Right Here, Right Now.
It's part of a brand-new strand for this year's festival that keeps the fragile modern world and our lives within it in focus. The films in the strand look at the gig economy, our relationship with technology and political satire, and they do it with a humorous touch. If that sounds like your kind of thing, this is the session to catch.
The venue is the Phoenix Picturehouse, a century-old cinema on Walton Street. It opened in 1913 as the North Oxford Kinema, designed by local architect Gilbert T Gardner for proprietors Richard Henry John Bartlett, W Beeson and Charles Green. It was renamed the Scala in 1920 and grew into one of the most important art-house cinemas in the UK outside London. In 1970 the single auditorium was split into two screens, Studios One and Two, and after a change of ownership in 1977 it became the Phoenix. In 1989 it was the first of the Picturehouse family of cinemas, and a bar followed in the 1990s.
