    The Red Shoes by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (UK, 1948, 133 min.). Under ballet impresario Boris Lermonotov’s guidance, young ballerina Vicky Page (Moira Shearer) is poised for stardom. Together Boris and Vicky create a worldwide sensation with their ballet, The Red Shoes, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s story of magic shoes that force a ballerina to dance forever. But when Vicky falls in love with the company’s promising conductor, Julian Craster (Marius Goring), Lermontov becomes enraged and forces Vicky to make a heart-wrenching decision. “What a restoration this is. For some other rereleases, I have said: run, don't walk to the cinema. This is a case of ‘sprint, don't run.’” (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian UK). Newly restored 33mm print by UCLA Film & Television Archive in association with the BFI, The Film Foundation, ITV Studios, Global Entertainment Ltd., and Janus Films. Restoration funding provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, The Film Foundation, and the Louis B. Mayer Foundation.
