jam packed day 3 today.
started off with moving some record turntables from our house to the cinema, getting them ready for the closing night party (yes, thats how DIY our festival is).
then an exciting lunch with Xavier Jamaux, a.k.a. Bang Bang, the soundtrack writer for SPARROW and Shan from Milkyway Image, the production company behind Johnnie Tos' films, who've taken the time to come to our little festival!
more excitement at the cinema - just before DREAM was due to kick off, the curtains for the cinema screen decided not to open (the mechanisms to pull the huge curtains open, failed), leaving the cinema projectionist to become the in-house spiderman and climb up the rigging, and pull the curtain fastenings open with a coat hanger!!
Despite the slightly delayed start, DREAM was very well attended and well liked.
It was great to see a smattering of Japanese people in the audience for comedy caper AFTER SCHOOL - irashai! - with lots of laughs all round.
Fun also to meet so many people at the festival in between movies - including Celina Jades (star of LEGENDARY ASSASSIN) old flatmates.
one of the great things being at the Prince Charles Cinema is the proximity to everything - from Ben & Jerrys Vanilla Toffe Fudge milkshakes to hand-drawn noodles at Super Star restuarant on Lisle St (note, regular PCC customers get 15% off final bill).
a quick drink with Festival Pass holders at the end of the night after ZOMBI KAMPUNG PISANG to get their feedback on how we are doing, then......damn, missed last tubes home, another long walk back.......
