Access Film Club: Mary and Max

GFT, together with The National Autistic Society Scotland, is delighted to provide Access Film Club: a screening and post-film discussion in a friendly and welcoming environment.  Creator of Memoir of a Snail, Adam Elliot’s first feature Mary and Max tells the tale of a pen-pal friendship between two very different people: Mary, lonely 8-year-old living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia; and Max Horovitz 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the chaos of New York City. Mary and Max is as funny as it is poignant, taking us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sex, agoraphobia and many more of life’s surprises. Content notice: Contains suicide references and infrequent drug use, bullying, mental illness, depression, panic attacks, ableism, child neglect, hospitals, mental institution, electroshock-therapy, alcohol and food addiction and death. All tickets £6.90 This screening will finish at 19.45 There are no ads or trailers before the film, the film starts after the introduction and the sound is slightly lower than in other screenings. There is access to sensory toys and a Quiet Room.AnimationPT1H32M12A2025-06-09
