The 75TH anniversary release of 'The Red Shoes' is in cinemas in the UK & Ireland on 8 December 2023 as part of the BFI’s major UK-wide season; CINEMA UNBOUND: THE CREATIVE WORLDS OF POWELL AND PRESSBURGER which continues until 31 December.

Written & directed by Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger and is based on the 1845 fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen. A young ballerina is torn between the demands of love and art. Like the heroine of Hans Christian Andersen’s source fairytale, whose magic shoes compel her to dance, Victoria Page – played by real-life ballerina Moira Shearer – finds herself driven to breaking point by obsessive Russian impresario Lermontov (Anton Walbrook) when she’s cast in his ballet The Red Shoes.

A tie in free exhibition at BFI Southbank, The Red Shoes: Beyond the Mirror continues until 7 January.

A classic film looking at relationships, obsession, compromise, and passion, all running alongside extraordinary dance sequences. Watch in a cinema near you, from the 8th December 2023.
