[KineJapan] East Asian films at the streamed A2 Film Festival

[Peter Larson]

I caught some of it online last night, and was impressed at how well it
worked out. Even the Q&A went smoothly. In some ways the Q&A was more
engaging than in a live context.

Film festivals should consider hybrid approaches, particularly festivals in
places that I can't travel to without spending a lot of money.
