- **Event Name**: The Lord of Milan (Film screening + Q&A)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Herbert Kilpin was the founder of AC Milan FC, one of the world's biggest football clubs. He was born in Nottingham, UK in 1870, however in 1891 he emigrated to Italy to begin a new life in the Italian textiles industry. From there he created a football club that some of the world's best footballers have played for, such as; Paulo Maldini, Gianni Rivera, Ruud Gullit, Kaka, Marco Van Basten, George Weah and David Beckham. 

The Lord of Milan is a documentary film, produced by LeftLion in 2018, builds upon the 2016 novel of the same name by Robert Nieri and tracks the journey of Herbert Kilpin from Nottingham to Italy and beyond. For many years Herbert's story was forgotten and remained untold. This film uncovers new information about him, as well as the men who helped bring his memory back to life. Notable footballers who star in the documentary include Daniele Massaro, Giovanni Lodetti, Luther Blissett and Mark Hateley. 

Upon it's release the film was screened across the UK (Broadway Cinema in Nottingham, HOME in Manchester and The Pheonix in London), in Italy and at the National Stadium in Beijing, China. The film won the 2017 Mention D'Honneur and the WPC Media Services Award at the FICTS film Festival in Milan. 

This is the first public screening of this film in Nottingham since 2019. Author Robert Nieri and Director Jared Wilson will be at the event for a Q&amp;A afterwards. 

This screening is in association with the exhibition ‘Nottingham’s Beautiful Game – Our Footballing Story’ which runs at Nottingham Central Library until May 2026. 

Tickets are priced at £5 each + BF and attendees will also receive a free DVD copy of the film to take home.
