   In the past, it was easy to look at the film schedule online and tell which ones were premium screenings (galas & movies at the visa screening room) But now that the premium screenings are spread out in different theaters, there doesn't seem to be an indication in the online schedule as to which are regular and which are not.

   If it's not too much trouble, could someone with a program book please provide a list of movies that now have premium screenings? Or at least list the ones at other theaters (like Ryerson and I think I heard Isabel Bader Theater)

   Thanks!

   I coordinate things with some out-of-town friends each year, and this is an issue for them too since I'm the one with the physical Schedule magazine. Here's the info I provided to them:

   • anything at Roy Thomson Hall
   • typically Visa Screening Room after 3pm (earlier is OK), *except* the following
     • Thur 9th: Legend of the Fist
     • Sun 12th: Hereafter
     • Mon 13th: Another Year
     • Tue 14th: Special Treatment
     • Wed 15th: Route Irish
     • Thur 16th: Poll Diaries, Rio Sex Comedy
     • Fri 17th: Aftershock, That Girl in Yellow Boots
     • Sat 18th: The Town
   • Premiums can also happen at other theaters (boooo!):
     • Fri 10th: Biutiful (Winter Garden), Everything Must Go (Isabel Bader)
     • Sat 11th: Never Let me Go (Ryerson), It's Kind of a Funny Story (Ryerson), Easy A (Isabel Bader)
     • Sun 12th: 127 Hours (Ryerson), Trigger (Lightbox -- damn, I would love to see this screening)
     • Mon 13th: Brighton Rock (Winter Garden), Miral (Ryerson), Ceremony (Isabel Bader)
     • Tue 14th: Mavericks Bruce Springsteen (Lightbox)

   Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm an out of towner and I have a friend who is going to fill out my advance order form for me, but since he lives outside of town, I am trying to have everything picked out ahead of time, so he can just go there, pick up the form, fill it out right there, and drop it back off.

   Yeah, I'm really not liking this premiums at other theaters ordeal. In the past, I mainly picked films showing at Ryerson since it was one of the nicer, bigger theaters with regular screenings, but now I feel like the movies I normally pick aren't all playing there, and the ones that are are premiuim!

   I figured "It's Kind of a Funny Story" and "Never Let Me Go" would be premium (though someone on twitter had claimed "Never Let Me Go" was regular) but I was hoping "Everything Must Go" and "Easy A" wouldn't be. Especially since there's been a bunch of free preview screenings of Easy A already. And I'm surprised "Passion Play" is regular.

   TIFF has updated their site to flag the Premium screenings.
