Two Japanese were invited to the Dubai International Film Festival as jury this year.
Yano-san of the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, and me.
Aihara-san of UNIJAPAN visited as a staff member of the festival.
Three directors submitted films; Souda-kun in the documentary section, Kadoi-san the fiction, and Inoue-san the short film.
We had a drink enjoying like a fun Japanese gathering.
Is it just me finding it safe and joyous being with Japanese in foreign countries?
How will it goes, the young Dubai International Film Festival which just welcomed the fifth year?
