Lack of free previews...
Im just wondering if this is usual for January, but there seems to be a lack of free films at the moment. I can't remember back to previous years, hope there are more soon!

Re: Lack of free previews...
There's not been that many films going on general release in the first few weeks of January so I think that's played a part in the number of preview screenings dropping off recently.
However the number of weekly releases increases towards the end of this month so hopefully things will improve preview wise in the next week or so

I know the Sky screenings disappearing will have a huge impact in Glasgow but still hoping others will provide!
. . . but not looking good so far

Re: Lack of free previews...
Usually the BAFTA screenings come along in one packed week to up our totals. Hopefully they're doing them again.
