Baby Pictures is our monthly morning film slot exclusively for carers with little ones aged twelve months and under. This month's screening is Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel.

Agnes (Jessie Buckley), the wife of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal), struggles to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet – the grief driving a wedge between the couple. Shakespeare channels the tragedy and his sorrow into his work, creating Hamlet.

Zhao (NomadlandThe Rider) brings a rawness and honesty to this profound portrait of love, grief and the power of storytelling.

Tickets go on sale Fri 19 Dec.

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. Tickets are £10 and include a hot drink and a delicious pastry. You can let us know if you have any dietary requirements on qftmanager@qub.ac.uk

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 babyPlease 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.
