Join us for a dementia friendly screening of the magical Bell, Book and Candle, starring Kim Novak and James Stewart.Gillian (Novak) is a fiercely independent young woman living in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and running a shop selling African art and artefacts. After taking a liking to her neighbour Shep (Stewart), and then subsequently discovering that he is engaged to her old school nemesis Merle (Janice Rule), Gillian decides to break them up by bewitching him on Christmas Eve with a spell to make him fall for her instead.
Supported by her eccentric Aunt Queenie (Elsa Lanchester) and her bongo-playing warlock brother Nicky (Jack Lemmon), Gillian must decide whether to stay with her community of witches and warlocks or give up her powers to be with Shep.
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.
Presented in partnership with Forward South. Forward South Partnership is an independent charity that works with community, schools, business, public and private sector partners to help regenerate and sustain a healthy and prosperous South Belfast. FSP coordinate South Belfast Dementia Friendly Initiative that is a voluntary campaign to improve life for people affected by dementia in this community.
