CREATIVE ACTION FILM FESTIVAL

BIAF Animation Shorts Programme

Film at Fabrica (19 October 2024, 2.30pm - 4.00pm)
Fabrica is hosting Creative Action: An adrenaline-fueled weekend film festival celebrating the art of action with powerful female leads across global cinema, exciting film workshops, and real-life kickboxing thrills!

Creative Action is a weekend film festival that includes: a screening programme of four cross-global features, a Brighton International Animation Festival partnership programme of international animated shorts, three inspiring and creative film workshops and a special real-life kickboxing demonstration.


The festival programme repositions action films from across the globe and across the ages by focusing on the artistry in action, showcasing the beauty of movement and creativity of stunts and combat. Readdressing the male dominated focus of action films, all features will showcase powerful female leads such as Franka Potente as Lola, Zhang Ziyi as Mei, and Meiko Kaji as Akemi, performing breath-taking action sequences.
