The U.K.’s best action and martial arts film festival is back for it’s eighth triumphant year!
September is a high point on the action and martial arts movie calendar for one reason: The Fighting Spirit Film Festival. And this year's fest, once again taking place on 9th & 10th September at the Stratford East Picture House, looks set to be another amazing weekend of Martial Arts excitement! And even better, The Comic Crush will be there, bringing you some of the best modern comics around between shows.
The FSFF has been at the forefront of martial arts cinema awareness in the UK for eight years, with annual festivals in both London and Birmingham. 2023's line-up continues that mission, with charity screenings, short films created by breakout filmmakers, a classic martial arts movie, and great new action films making the big screen debut.
