Baby Pictures is our weekly morning film slot exclusively for carers with little ones aged twelve months and under. This week join Grace Pudel as she retells her life story to a humble garden snail named Sylvia.
Grace's (Sarah Snook) life is troubled by misfortune and loss. When her family unit is ripped apart and she is separated from her twin brother, she develops an addiction to collecting snail ornaments to soothe her loneliness and depression. Grace finds hope when she develops a friendship with an elderly eccentric woman, Pinky (Jacki Weaver), who inspires her to break out of her cage and let go of the things that clutter her home and her mind.
Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
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.
