In a world where society seeks to divide Black and Asian communities, MilkTea in partnership with Dark Matter have co-created a UK first, a groundbreaking program celebrating Black x Asian unity and cultural crossover, showing part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
Romeo Must Die | Monday 28 October | Fist of Fury | Wednesday 27 November |
Our London screening will be accompanied with a Q&A featuring Nicole Ocran, Juice Aleem and Kyami. The discussion will be moderated by Micallar Walker.
After the London screening MilkTea and Dark Matter will also be hosting a Filmmaker Talent Mixer for Black and Asian filmmakers. If this is you and you'd like to come, RSVP HERE. Capacity is extremely limited!
In November we will celebrate the iconic Fist of Fury on 27 November, which marks the grandmaster's 80th birthday. This film not only established Bruce Lee as a global martial arts superstar, but its portrayal of racial discrimination and social injustice reflected the real-world tensions and struggles faced by many communities.
The London screening will be followed by a Q&A panel of local action choreographers and stunt people to discuss the industry to give our audience more insights into the making of action films and the significance of this movie on the action genre.
MilkTea shows the best of East & Southeast Asian cinema in the UK. Our work begins with screenings, but our goal is to build inclusion, communities & audiences.
Dark Matter is an inclusive marketing agency that works collaboratively to connect Black audiences with culture and the arts.
