JFF+ Independent Cinema 2023 Aug-Oct
Found out about this late so won't be able to watch as many as I'd like. This list is to help me remember what I saw and to remind myself to check back in for the next one.

3. A Muse Never Drowns

The loneliness of the first half was difficult for me but the ending made up for it.

4. Bachiranun
Japanese Movie - 2021
Some of the scenes of dairy farming and fishing/fish processing were difficult for me. The drops into surreal were disorientating. It was all a bit too far a stretch for me and kept me on edge. Others will love it for that.

5. Follow the Light

This is my favourite of the festival so far.

6. Bon Uta

note to myself have seen 1 hour 22 minutes
