Falling in October, Black History Month, our screening of Romeo Must Die will be a special and powerful event that will for the first time in the UK convene Black and East & Southeast Asian (ESEA) audiences in a shared community event to celebrate Blasian Pride. This film brings together Jet Li and Aaliyah and asks the question, what does this film say about ESEA and Black communities then and now? Our screening will be accompanied with a Q&A with a panel that identifies with Blasian heritage. Following the screening, we will host a talent mixer for Black and ESEA filmmakers at our London screening. 

In November we will celebrate the iconic Fist of Fury on 27 November, which marks the grandmaster’s 84th birthday. This film not only established Bruce Lee as a global martial arts superstar, but its portrayal of racial discrimination and social injustice reflected the real-world tensions and struggles faced by many communities. The screening will be followed by a Q&A panel of local action choreographers and stunt people to discuss the industry to give our audience more insights into the making of action films and the significance of this movie on the action genre.
