In a special event, the iconic film 'The Red Shoes' will be screened at Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline, Scotland. The screening is part of the Cinema Unbound: The Creative Worlds of Powell + Pressburger film season, a UK-wide event. 'The Red Shoes' is a 1948 film that made Dunfermline-born ballerina Moira Shearer an international star. The film tells the story of Victoria Page, played by Shearer, who achieves her dream of becoming a leading dancer but pays a terrible price. Considered one of the most influential movies of all time, 'The Red Shoes' has inspired artists such as Martin Scorsese, Kate Bush, and Matthew Bourne. This screening at Carnegie Hall will be the first cinema screening in Dunfermline of the remastered version of the film [e095a22c].

The season includes screenings of their other acclaimed works, such as 'Black Narcissus' and 'A Matter of Life and Death'.
