Baby Pictures is our regular Friday morning film slot exclusively for carers with little ones aged twelve months and under. This weeks screening sees a young Gaelic footballer struggle to come to terms with a career-ending injury.
In a small town in the Irish midlands – the sort of place where Gaelic football is a religion and identity is defined by what one can do on the pitch - lives Cian Reilly (Normal People's Éanna Hardwicke), a young footballer struggling to come to terms with an injury sustained after a violent attack. At the same time, he begins a friendship with Grace (Danielle Galligan), a nurse who is back in town to look after her ailing father following some time away in London. As Cian tries to find meaning in other areas of life, he feels a strong pull from the team and pressure from the town. Soon, he finds himself risking it all by returning to football against doctor’s orders and considering seeking retribution against his assailants.
Lakelands is a moving and poignant depiction of rural youth culture that hasn’t previously been seen in Irish cinema.

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.
