Join us for a festive Dementia Friendly screening of Miracle on 34th Street starring Edmund Gwenn as the kindly Kris Kringle.

The holiday season is in full swing when a cultured gentleman with twinkling eyes, an ample belly, and a snowy beard (Edmund Gwenn) is hired as a Macy’s department store Santa. He claims his name is Kris Kringle, and he soon fills everyone with Christmas spirit...except for his boss, Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara), who’s raising her daughter (Natalie Wood) to not believe in Santa.

But when Kringle is declared insane, and put on trial, everyone’s faith is put to the test as young and old alike face the age-old question: Do you believe in Santa Claus?

Dementia Friendly screenings aim to make cinema more accessible by providing a fun and inclusive experience for people living with dementia, their families and carers. The film will be shown with the lights up and the sound turned down. There will be more staff in-venue to assist and the screen will open earlier. QFT is committed to the Age-Friendly Belfast Charter.

Presented in partnership with Forward South, a voluntary campaign aiming to improve life for people affected by dementia in the community.
