SFFL 2024: Kinky Boots

Chiwetel Ejiofor will introduce the screening. The film will be followed by a Q&A with director Julian Jarrold and producers Suzanne Mackie and Peter Ettedgui.

Inspired by a true story, Kinky Boots sees Charlie Price set about rescuing his dad's ailing Northampton shoe factory, which has been the pride and joy of his family for generations.

Facing the imminent closure of the factory, Charlie begins to feel all is lost. A chance encounter with sassy, flamboyant Soho cabaret star Lola provides a glimmer of hope and a surprising last chance for the factory and its employees. Lola's quest for stylish, kinky women's boots (for men) might just provide the answer to Charlie's prayers...but is Northampton open-minded enough for the likes of Lola?
