Following the great success of the inaugural event last year, The London Action Festival is returning with plans underway for an impressive programme set to explode into London this summer. Once again celebrating the skills, creativity, talent and bravery required to create the world’s most exciting content across Film and TV, the second edition of the festival promises to be bigger and bolder than ever. The London Action Festival will take place in London from Wednesday 21st – Sunday 25th June.
Action films proved to be the saviour of cinema in 2022 – the highest-grossing movies of the year were all from the genre with films like Avatar: The Way of Water, Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion dominating box offices across the globe. Equally, 2023 shows no signs of letting up with hotly anticipated films all hitting cinema screens.
The London Action Festival’s debut outing last year drew top-tier talent from across the film and TV worlds. The goal of the Festival is to make each event both fun and informative to give passionate audiences an insight into the talent and craftsmanship that it takes to deliver such amazing work.
Building on last year, the ambitions for 2023 promise an action-packed lineup to delight action film aficionados, cinephiles and experts alike in a way that, as last year showed, bridges generations.
The immensely popular, Friday Night Showdown returns – a spectacular variety show for fans of all things action, which last year featured an all-star line-up including McTiernan, Hardy and special surprise guest Edgar Wright with live music from Bond composer David Arnold. The night was built around the annual Moving Target Awards given out in recognition of outstanding contributions to the world of Action Films & TV.
