I think it would be impossible to go to tomorrows screening without finding out anyways
What a rubbish choice of a film! A real big let down!

Also has it been posted by other people that tomorrows screening is the same as tonight on twitter etc?
was announced as soon as the film started - my net died so couldnt post until I did

I guess thats twitter for you, everyone just wants to be the first to blurt something out. It would have been nice to keep it a surprise for the people going to the screening tonight at the NFT.

It would be interesting to see how many people choose not to go tonight having found out what it is. There seems to be quite a few disgruntled audience members on the discussion pages of the LFF's official page on Facebook. I have mixed views about it. I was initially disappointed but thought it was an interesting film overall. Still seems an odd choice for the surprise film however. If it had been included in the festival programme from the beginning I wouldn't have chosen to see it.

So on their official page on facebook, does it actually say tonight will be the same film?
