 * [1 week, 6 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aql-documentation-tutorials/)
 * I am creating a new website for my local film society which focuses on two custom
   post types:
    - Seasons: The “parent” post type and
    - Films: The “child” post type (so each season consists of a header followed
      by a list of films being screened sorted by the date that they are being shown
      NOT by the date that the post is published.
 * I have managed, using AQL, to get the archive template for films to show them
   in screening date order but I need to do much more including:
    - Filtering the film archive by season
    - Getting the single template for season to show the films in that season (in
      screening date order)
    - Getting the homepage to show the next film to be screened with a sidebar showing
      the remaining films that are due to be shown in this season
 * The description for AQL suggests that it can do all of these things but I cannot
   find any documentation (or video tutorials) showing how to do it.
 * Help!!!!!
 * Thanks in advance, Simon
