SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE
Friday 7th February 2025
Doors open at 7:30pm, film starts at 8:00pm
Certificate: 12 Run time:
1hr 38min
It is 1985 in a small town in Ireland, and Bill Furlong is flat out
delivering coal and wood in the snow before Christmas. As he, his
wife and young daughters prepare for the holidays, he finds out by
accident that something is wrong at the local convent. Why are the
girls he sees there distressed?
The story responds to the scandals of the Magdalene
Laundries and mother and baby homes in Ireland. Furlong realises that
something is not right, but what can he do? The church is part of daily
life, and to challenge it is dangerous. A woman warns him: “Tis no affair of
mine, you understand, but you know you’d want to watch over what you’d say
about what’s there? Keep the enemy close, the bad dog with you and the good
dog will not bite. You know yourself”.

We have comfortable seating around tables. A mix of refreshments, alcoholic,
non-alcoholic and snacks, will be available from our licenced bar. A
chance to get involved in choice of future films will be offered to those
attending a film screening.
