Mandala</i> online. A dash up there would have had me miss an exemplary
exposition (again). The disease, the complex science, the entangled law hiding
vested interests, the people, were all introduced with unrivalled clarity. I
find myself surprised to be looking forward to the next four hours with
eagerness.</p>

<p><span>Dear All,</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt;"><span>The programme for Sheffield
Docfest has been announced <a shape="rect" href="https://sheffdocfest.com/festival/2021/explore/film-programme?page=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://sheffdocfest.com/festival/2021/explore/film-programme?page=0</a>
. Considering one of the curators is now Japanese, I can’t find as many
Japanese films as I hoped. There is:-</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt;"><i><span>Double
Layered Town / Making a Song to Replace Our Positions </span></i><span><span> </span></span><span><a shape="rect" href="https://sheffdocfest.com/film/double-layered-town-making-song-replace-our-positions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://sheffdocfest.com/film/double-layered-town-making-song-replace-our-positions</a><span> by </span>Haruka Komori + Natsumi Seo, which
sounds like it might be called a fictional film, </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:6pt;"><span>and Hara Kazuo’s <i>Minamata
Mandala</i> <a shape="rect" href="https://sheffdocfest.com/film/minamata-mandala" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://sheffdocfest.com/film/minamata-mandala</a>,
running at 6 hours, 12 minutes on the final non-competition day, 13<sup>th </sup>June.
As it’s a Sunday, the first train from </span><span>London</span><span> would get me there an hour late. Does
anyone have the experience to say whether watching a mere five and a quarter
hours at the end would make a rational viewing experience ?</span></p>
