About this Event
Can martial arts and filmmaking make a difference in young people’s lives?
Discover Project Sifu 2 (2026), a new short film made in Sheffield, bringing together young people, university students and professional filmmakers to explore friendship, resilience and the power of martial arts.
What began as a youth engagement initiative in Sheffield has since reached international audiences, with presentations at the United Nations in New York and UNESCO’s International Centre of Martial Arts in South Korea.
Now, we’re bringing the film home to Sheffield, and we’d love you to join us!
