Te hee!
Remember THIS? Well, I've got an update!
Let's add Eiga Sai to the list. Another film festival crossed out in the list of my must-attend activities.
What's Eiga Sai? It's the Japanese translation of film festival. Hence, technically, saying Eiga Sai film festival is redundant. The right way to say it is the Japanese Eiga Sai.

Last July 7, after two meetings and one heavy lunch, I headed to The Shang to meet my high school pal and to watch the 4 p.m. screening of the Japanese movie, Your Friends. I was moved but honestly, I fell asleep when the film was about to end. It was somewhat dragging. Nevertheless, it was a tearjerker. Anybody who has a friend, and is a friend himself/herself would be delighted to see this simple story about childhood friendship. What's more cheesy about watching films like this is when you watch it with your very own childhood BFF. Puffy, indeed.
More eiga sai to go!
Up next: Cinemalaya Film Festival
Soon: Silent Film Festival
See you!
