Kim Hopkins follows former pop star Dene Michael as he clings to the remnants of fame he once had as a member of 1980s novelty pop group Black Lace, singers of 'Agadoo'.
Now, performing for a dwindling, ageing audience in some of the UK’s most deprived seaside towns and cities, he’s eager to press on with his music career and get out from under the legacy of the Black Lace songbook.
Still Pushing Pineapples follows Dene, his spirited 89-year-old mum Anne, and his girlfriend Hayley across Britain and the Costa del Sol in this unmistakably British road movie. En route, they navigate love, family duty and the relentless pursuit of one last chart success. But who needs an ’80s throwback in a loud pineapple shirt and oversized red specs, singing a tired earworm? Apparently, many do (doo doo).
The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
