Frank van den Eeden, SBC, NSC, talks about his work on ‘Small Things Like These’, by Tim Mielants

With Small Things Like These, Belgian filmmaker Tim Mielants tells the story of the late 80s, in working-class Ireland, giving a new point of view on the Magdalene Sisters affair (adapted in the past from Peter Mullan in 2002). We follow the life of a peaceful father of six daughters (Irish star Cillian Murphy) whose scars from the past suddenly resurface when the discovery of one of the young girls staying at the convent. Dutch DoP Frank van den Eeden, SBC, NSC, lensed the film, which is in competition for the Golden frog of Camerimage 2024. (FR)
