Baby Pictures is our regular Friday morning film slot exclusively for carers with little ones aged twelve months and under. This week we bring you QFT favourite Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language feature.
Ingrid (Julianne Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Tilda Swinton), a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years. The two women immerse themselves in their pasts, sharing memories, anecdotes, art, movies—yet Martha has a request that will test their newly strengthened bond.
Adapting Sigrid Nunez’s treasure of a novel, What Are You Going Through, Almodóvar has exquisitely reframed his career-long fascination with the lives of women for an American vernacular, capturing Manhattan and upstate New York with enraptured affection.
Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
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.
Pedro Almodóvar’s (Parallel Mothers) finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, graced with incandescent performances by Julianne Moore (May December) and Tilda Swinton (The Souvenir).
