Fight Like a Girl is a season that travels from the 1970s, with the genre’s first female action star, all the way through to the 2020s. The gems in our line-up span the genre, from the spectacle of wuxia to the dazzle of the heist movie, always concentrating on the women we love in action and the staggering on-screen stunts they perform.
Join us as we delve into the history of exploitation cinema with Pam Grier’s iconic role in Foxy Brown to the spectacle of the Hong Kong martial arts films Michelle Yeoh cut her teeth on – this season is dedicated to the gals who give us an ass-kicking.
Programmed by Broadway Cinema’s Kate Wood and Emma Duncan
Screening as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
