Independent Cinema Office Screening Days April 5 – April 7
These are due to take place at the BFI Southbank (aka the National Film Theatre). The films are all previews of titles due to appear in cinemas in the coming months. If you like the idea of seeing films from before 10am right through to 5 or 6pm, this could be for you.

The ‘COMING SOON’ messages
We have now been sending you email flyers mentioning forthcoming films for several months and hope that you have forwarded them to friends and acquaintances who you think might be interested.
The next members’ newsletter is planned for late March.
