    BFI Art of Action

    This autumn we are exploring the complicated and exhilarating world of women in the action genre. From early silent cinema’s daredevils, the high kicking antics of Michelle Yeoh, the rippling biceps of Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, the subversive 90s cinema of Kathryn Bigelow, to the regal fierceness of Viola Davis and teenage angst of the Kahn sisters of Polite Society; we are taking gender stereotypes and punching back at them hard! This is fun and challenging cinema that will increase your pulse rate and leave you wanting to leap into the cinema.
