Day 66


Day 66 (27th October)

I am exhausted but I must write before I rest. Day 2 of MAMI had such a tight schedule that it was 6 in the evening before I could find time for a proper sit-down meal. Perhaps I should carry food from home tomorrow, as many wise people seem to be doing. It is very important to eat properly during the film festival. Too much and you will doze off; too little and you won’t be able to focus on the challenging passages. Out of the 4 films today, 3 were American and the last was French. Best film of the day was Wildlife, a beautifully paced coming – of – age movie with a knock-out final shot. Extremely annoying to see people checking their phones while a film is in progress. The culprits are youngsters who have a very poor attention span. MAMI should seriously consider increasing the delegate fees to keep this sort of people out of the festival.
