Art of Action: Fighting for Film - Sword Fighting

Ever wanted to try your hand at sword fighting like you have seen on the big screen? Well now you can thanks to Art of Action from the BFI. 

Sign up to experience what it can be like to be a sword wield hero, villain or henchman from your favourite films. 

This workshop will let you glimpse behind the screen at how fights are put together and the routines used to bring the action to life- including footwork, cut, parries, drill and more! Before letting you take a closer look at a selection of weapons- yes you can pose for pictures!

A great fun for fans of the silver screen!
