It's back! And I've been through the brochure and longlisted films and tried to fit them in and had a couple of rounds of tweaking to balance the days out and do chains of swaps/deconflicting to see the later screenings in much earlier slots. My latest finish is 20:35 which is a great fit to my current energy levels. I've bought 22 tickets, with another four potentials if I'm feeling perky in the evening. Some of those will be on general release a few weeks later so I'm not prioritising them over the films with smaller distribution.

Only a few Q&As this year (on the website) and none for my screenings - bit of a shame but means I don't risk rudely leaving for another film. It's a bit smaller and less varied than some previous years. The retrospective is Daniel Kaluuya most of whose films I've seen recently; no silents programme; no late night horror; no online offering. Still tons of stuff! The Catalan selection has always been strong and much to my taste.
