Join us on Friday 13 February for an unforgettable evening of culture, music, and martial arts cinema as we celebrate the Lunar New Year and the 20th anniversary of Jet Li's legendary epic, Fearless.
This visually stunning masterpiece, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ronny Yu, tells the inspiring story of Huo Yuanjia - a martial arts hero who fought for honour and unity. Known for its breathtaking fight choreography and deep cultural themes, Fearless remains one of Jet Li's most iconic films. The film will be in Mandarin with English subtitles. Rated M for moderate violence.
Special guest appearance

Ronny Yu is celebrated for his diverse body of work, including cult classics like Bride of Chucky, Freddy vs. Jason, and the epic fantasy The Bride with White Hair. His unique storytelling and cinematic style have earned him international acclaim.
