<p class="ydp1a9449efMsoNormal">Meanwhile, Yamagata
are calling for entries for their festival, “October 7<sup>th</sup> to 14<sup>th</sup>”.
My experience has been that, if you book to stay for the entire posted period,
there are very few films to see in the last couple of days, with about 75% of
the festival happening in the middle weekend. <span> </span>That means that one body can only see about
15% of the films. Exceptionally this year, I can’t see a public holiday
extending that weekend. The media-viewing room had quite restricted places and
hours, particularly in the last few days when it needed to be extended. <span> </span>I do hope they rethink the scheduling
somewhat. If some of us from overseas manage to battle through the quarantine
restrictions to get there, I do hope we can watch 7 days of films.</p>
