Film Fu Fight Fest 2017 - Sun. Apr. 30, 6-9pm - The Rio Theatre

Film Fu is heading for the big screen! As part of Film Fu's continuing philanthropic initiative, created by award-winning feature film director, fight choreographer and stunt performer Kirk Caouette, we present to you Vancouver's inaugural "Film Fu Fight Fest"!

FFFF will present a series of short films that feature predominately fighting created by members of Vancouver's stunt community. It'll be a fast and furious evening filled with punches, kicks, falls and flips that cater to your inner action hero. A Q&A with the film creators will follow the screenings. Complete with The Rio's fully stocked bar (it's a 19+ event), it will also be a great opportunity to connect with and celebrate Vancouver's stunt community.

Tickets are $15 each ($20 at the door) and are available for:  PURCHASE TICKETS HERE
