The Cube Cinema is delighted to invite you to our Baby Cinema Screenings. The watching-with-baby screenings are for parents/ carers with young babies (up to one year old) to enjoy a movie in the company of other parents and their offspring. Those without babies are also more than welcome to attend.

The Cube provides an area for prams, baby changing facilities, lowered movie volume and extra lighting in the auditorium. There will always be a Front of House team who can help out with prams and lend a hand to ferry any snacks and drinks.

Advance booking is not available for our baby cinema screenings

 

A timeless masterpiece of love and yearning, L’Atalante was the only full-length film made by Jean Vigo before his tragic early death. The film is now considered to be one of cinema’s very greatest works.

Dita Parlo stars as a young bride who begins married life aboard her husband’s barge on the Seine. But within its cramped confines, shared with a small crew (including the eccentric Père Jules, memorably played by Michel Simon) and an abundance of cats, the relationship begins to flounder. Vigo imbues this simple tale, beautifully shot by Boris Kaufman, with social realism, lyrical romance and sensual eroticism to create a unique and enduring classic.
