The London Action Festival, which runs from July 28-31, will be the first-of-its-kind celebration of one of the most globally produced and commercially successful genres of Film and TV. It will launch in London with a major 4-day celebration this Summer including a look at two major genre movies – Predator and Jurassic World Dominion.

Picturehouse Central, right in the heart of London’s West End, will be home for the festival over its main weekend with additional events taking place at other major venues in Central London.

The festival will celebrate the 35th anniversary of John McTiernan’s Predator, with the director as headline guest, alongside a detailed look at Die Hard. Visitors will be able to take a look at the world of visual effects in Jurassic World Dominion with a masterclass from some of the leading experts in the field of Visualization and VFX including Pawl Fulker (Partner + Creative Director, Proof London Ltd. / Senior Visualization Supervisor), Dave Vickery (ILM, Visual Effects Supervisor) and with the involvement of Director Colin Trevorrow. his panel event is presented by Proof Inc. who celebrate their 20th anniversary this year as well as the 10th Anniversary of their London operation.

“We will be celebrating the skills and talent of those who bring Action Movies and TV to life. We see the festival as a way of showing far greater appreciation for those whose incredible work and achievements are rarely recognized come awards season, particularly in the areas of stunts and action design”, said Julian Alcantara (Festival Co-Director and Founder).

“This is going to be an exciting, fun and inspiring experience for audiences who love all things Action. The very filmmaking that powers global entertainment deserves this level of attention and respect”, added Ron Fogelman (Festival Co-Director and Founder).
