Baby Pictures is our regular Friday morning film slot exclusively for carers with little ones aged twelve months and under. This week Angelina Jolie shines as legendary opera singer Maria Callas.
In poor health, Callas (Jolie) wanders around a picturesque Paris as she recounts to an adoring journalist the highs of her career and litany of past loves.
Jolie's performance captures the myriad layers and masks of this legendary singer’s personality, from pithy to heartbreakingly vulnerable, while showing flashes of the personality that saw her idolised as an opera star.
Featuring a stellar cast that includes Valeria Golino, Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher, Maria is a stunning addition to Pablo Larraín’s portraits of iconic women subjected to an alarming degree of scrutiny, while the world looked on.
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.
