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.

Workshop: Foley Sound of Action

Join School of Noise for a creative workshop to discover how the hidden world of Foley sound design is used in film.

Using a variety of objects, instruments and materials, work together to create sounds that will bring film clips to life. The workshops will explore the history of Foley sound, and consider what the future might hold for this fun and creative artfrom.

This project is possible with support of the BFI Film Audience Network, awarding funds from the National Lottery in order to bring this project to more audiences across the UK
