It's all kicking off (literally) this November with the Art of Action, a UK-wide celebration of the artistry behind action films. Presented by the BFI Film Audience Network (BFI FAN) it will take us on a journey through action choreography, from silent film stunts right through to today’s dazzling set pieces.

Watershed's Art of Action season Chicks, Kicks & Flicks, co-curated by filmmaker Nida Manzoor (Polite Society), will celebrate women in action, on screen and behind the camera. Kathryn Bigelow's cult classic Point Break rides a wave of cracking films including a Sunday season of Hong Kong action flicks, the Wachowki's The Matrix, and more.
