Belgium director Tim Mielants discusses his new film Small Things Like These at Berlinale premiere

Berlin Film Festival adds new films

In the world of filmmaking, unexpected collaborations often lead to remarkable results. Such is the case with the upcoming film, Small Things Like These, directed by Tim Mielants, a filmmaker from Belgium. This Irish-themed movie delves into the culture and history of Ireland, specifically focusing on the abuse and complicity surrounding the Magdalene Laundries.

Drawing inspiration from Peter Mullan's 2002 drama, The Magdalene Sisters, Small Things Like These takes a different approach by shifting the spotlight to the outside world and exploring the community's role in allowing the abuse to persist. This project brings together Mielants, who previously worked with the film's star Cillian Murphy on the hit series Peaky Blinders, alongside production companies Big Things Films, Artists Equity, and Wilder Films. FilmNation Entertainment is overseeing the international sales of the film.
