Film screenings
Hi,
“The film’s playing/showing/screening at five and six o’clock tomorrow.”
“The film’s being screened/played/ showed tomorrow.”
Is the second option with ‘being’ correct? I usually hear people say ‘the film’s playing’ rather than ‘being played’.
One more thing. Do you only say ‘session times’ when talking about the different times at which you can see a film or is ‘screening times’ also a possibility?
Thank you.
