Boston Kickout from renowned director Paul Hills  features a young cast of great British talent including John Simm (Human Traffic) , Marc Warren(Wanted) , Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually) and  Emer McCourt (Sunset Heights), who have all gone on to stellar careers as internationally acclaimed stars, and if that’s not enough to pique your interest, there’s an awe-inspiring ‘90s soundtrack featuring some of the biggest and best bands around: The Stones Roses, Primal Scream and Oasis.

Making its World Premiere in October 1995, the film went on to receive worldwide acclaim on its general release across the globe, garnering awards galore and was a success on VHS in the rental stores, at least it certainly was in mine. It was films like this, and JK Amalou’s Hard Men that paved the way for films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. 

Now, 30 years on, Boston Kickout will receive a Special one night only screening and Q & A at London’s Picturehouse Central on 20 October 2025.  Ticket info can be found here: http://bit.ly/3VcmTCo
