Please direct all chat here.

Someone please post here if they can get the code to work. Using it on showfilmfirst site brings up The Blind Side..

It seems to be working (though I had to input the code a couple of times) but there are only tickets for Cheltenham left.

Mugabe and the White African
Synopsis
Covertly-filmed, award-winning documentary of an elderly white farmer's personal battle with the Zimbabwean dictator.
Michael Campbell is one of a handful of white farmers left in Zimbabwe since President Robert Mugabe began enforcing his land seizure programme, an initiative to reclaim white-owned land and redistribute it to poor black Zimbabweans. Since 2000, formerly thriving farms that employed thousands now sit derelict while poverty and hunger are rife amongst the majority of the country's citizens.

Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 2008 presidential election, Mugabe And The White African follows Mike and son-in-law Ben Freeth's harrowing attempt to take Mugabe to an international court for racism and violation of their human rights. It is an unprecedented case, upon which rests not only Mike and his family's future, but also the future of millions of ordinary Zimbabweans who continue to suffer at the hands of one of the world's most infamous tyrants.

I just get the message 'Sorry, no tickets left.' at the top.

The film is out in cinemas already! Somehow I doubt SFF will be still doing screenings and the guy on MSE who wrote it looks like a newbie or a joker..

[mattgad]

If I remember rightly, they were still did another UP screening after it was out at the cinemas. But this does seem odd, usually Cheltenham is not even that popular, and I can get tickets on SFF usually even after a day since the code is posted. So for people to have known to go to showfilmfirst, and put it in, it seems unlikely that all the tickets really have gone.

No I swear I can get to the page I posted above (after seeing the same as mattgad a couple of times) but obviously I didn't input my login details as I don't need tickets for Cheltenham.

It's kind of nice they are still doing screenings once the film comes out...

According to Cineworld, the film comes out on the 2nd March, so this screening would be a week later.
