Baby Pictures is our weekly morning film slot exclusively for carers with little ones aged twelve months and under. This week presents a gripping Irish thriller about two warring families, starring Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott.
Michael (Abbott), the last son of a farming family, lives an isolated existence with his ailing father Ray. Haunted by a terrible accident in his past, Michael has isolated himself from the world and is dedicated to his prized flock. When the ongoing conflict with rival farmer Gary and his unpredictable son Jack (Keoghan) stirs old tensions and grievances, it triggers a chain of events that take increasingly violent turns, leaving both families permanently altered.
Written and directed by award-winning first-time filmmaker Christopher Andrews, and co-starring Colm Meaney, Paul Ready and Nora-Jane Noone, Bring Them Down is a fierce, muscular debut that signals a bold new cinematic voice.
Baby Pictures is open to carers and little ones of twelve months and under. As everyone in the cinema is a parent or carer, there’s no need to worry if it gets a little noisy. Everyone understands. Customers not accompanying a baby will be turned away.
The lights are turned up a little bit and the sound is a little softer to create a peaceful environment for you and the baby. It’s just for carers (Mum, Dad, Granny, Granda, whoever it is it looking after the tot) and babies. Up to two adults can come with a baby. Please note: we cannot allow babies over the age of 12 months to come to Baby Pictures.

Baby Pictures is supported by Film Hub NI.
Featuring standout performances from Oscar-nominee Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) and Christopher Abbott (Possessor), Bring Them Down is a tense and gripping thriller about two warring families set against the harsh landscape of rural west Ireland.
