The London Action Festival
About The London Action Festival
Following a packed-out inaugural festival in July 2022, our 2023 edition will feature multiple strands where high-profile panels and screenings play alongside exhibitions, special events, merchandising, and music performances.
It will see the return of our Premium Showcases, such as the incredibly popular "Friday Night Showdown," a spectacular variety show for fans of all things Action, including our Moving Target Awards, and much, MUCH more.
We aim to create a genuine community spirit where just being at the Festival is as enjoyable an experience as attending the events themselves.
The Why?
Excellence in Film & TV production is worth shouting about — and we want to celebrate those in the industry that create incredible experiences on the screen and yet seldom get recognized the way they should by the major awards.
We want this to be YOUR Festival — a meeting place for the industry, the talent, and YOU, the audience.
We are building this into an annual celebration that always remembers Film (or High-End TV) isn’t just about what’s on the screen — it’s about creating a shared audience experience that is long remembered after you’ve finished your popcorn!
