Julie (Calamy) is a frazzled mother of two, just about making ends meet through her job as the senior maid at a posh Paris hotel and the sporadic alimony payments from her ex. Up at sunrise to prep her kids for school before a long commute, her life is a constant, precarious balancing act in which not one moment can be wasted. So when an interview for a better job - one that might just haul her out of a cycle of debt - coincides with a paralysing transport strike, it’s a nightmare of epic proportions that pushes her into a frenetic race against time.

Winning Best Director and Best Actress awards at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, Full Time recalls other films about individuals under duress and against the clock, such as Run Lola Run and Uncut Gems, with its grippingly tense editing and rhythmic score.

Baby Pictures 

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.  

If you have any questions about Baby Pictures, please get in touch on qftmanager@qub.ac.uk.

Baby Pictures is supported by Film Hub NI.
