Time: 13.00

Location: HOME

The screening on Sunday 17 February will be followed be a free, informal post-screening discussion led by Dr Andy Moor, Reader in Film at Manchester Metropolitan University

HOME are proud to showcase the digital print of the vibrant Powell & Pressburger masterpiece. The Red Shoes was produced as a blazing manifesto for Powell & Pressburger’s belief in total cinema, shooting on location in Covent Garden and on the Riviera, and integrating dance, music, décor and stylised acting in a phantasmagoria which would influence the Hollywood musical.

Dr Andrew Moor is Reader in English at Manchester Metropolitan University.  Andy chiefly researches all aspects of LGBTQ cinema history (and LGBTQ Studies more widely), and British cinema history. His chief area of interest was originally the work of Powell and Pressburger. Emerging from this study, Andy has an interest in British, transnational and cross-cultural film, with a particular emphasis on the work of exiles. While his interest in British Cinema is still alive and well, Andy's more recent research is into gay (and queer) cinema since Stonewall. He is the author of various chapters and articles looking at gay/queer culture, and he is interested in cross-currents between expressions of exile and of queerness. Andy has an ongoing interest in modes of queer viewing / reception studies, and am currently writing a monograph on the relationship between genre and sexuality in gay inflected cinema since Stonewall.
