Art of Action

Taking place from October, Art of Action is a major UK-wide celebration of big screen action done for real, focusing on the actors and stunt performers risking life and limb to create some of the most memorable on-screen action.

 

 

At Storyhouse, we will be joining the action with our own hand-picked film programme curated with the aim of displaying diverse talent on screen and behind the camera, starting with early 1920s swashbuckler, The Mark of Zorro, accompanied by a live score from Northern Silents. Along the way, we’ll be screening newly restored versions of Akira Kurosawa’s monumental Seven Samurai and Kathryn Bigelow’s 90s cult thriller Point Breaka weekend of spectacular films dedicated to the extraordinary action career of Academy Award-winning actress (and one-time Chester dance student) Michelle Yeoh, and much more!


Art of Action is a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network (FAN).
