Our MDL screening was simply awesome. Even for me, watching the films for the second time was still entertaining and interesting. I was told that the program was well made, and the films were indeed different from each other and spoke to different type of audience all the time, which makes me happy, since this is the thing I was aiming for.
The last day featured 'Fish Story', 'Boku Wa Kuma' and 'My Wife is Gangster' which were extremely interesting and light in a way. I tried to make the last day lighter than the others, with less 'thinking' involved, but at the same time to have refreshing films. Hopefully it was good enough.
I want to credit and thank all the people who helped us with the screening, because without them this event would have never been so entertaining and special.

MDL film screening -- Day 2
Hooray! day two is behind us, and we are all delighted and happy and glad. I got to eat awesome sweets, and I'm thankful for yuyu for exposing me to this tasty thing.
Which reminds me, this was the day where most people attended the event, so it was extremely nice. However, it had it own disadvantages, because there was some random guy (have no idea who it was XD) who just went in with his child (who was extremely annoying by the way) and ruined us a major part of the film. Luckily, they went away and I didn't have to kick them out at the end of the film. I really dislike people like this one, who only have things to complain about and ruin other people's fun. He complained that there is echo in the room (which was true :P) and it disturbs his great Japanese abilities from understanding what the people on the screen are saying ('cause his great English reading abilities are not good enough, you know). I listened afterwards with my eyes closed, so I won't be able to read the subs and I understood what they were saying perfectly. Other people understood it good as well... so I assume the guy had too much pride and didn't want us to kick him out? xD
Anyway, aside from this guy, the whole day was just gorgeous. We got us pizza in the second break and ate it together, we watched films and had a lot of fun. In fact, we even watched Egao (the short by Makoto Shinkai). I love this one, it's so cute.
At the end of the day, everything was just so fun. I hope the last day will be fun as well! Day 3... here we come!
(pictures coming soon)

MDL film screening -- Day 1
(The screening room without the viewers, made by linguist)
Oh God, despite the fact the event itself is rather small, it took a lot of effort and time to prepare it. We worked all week long to make it possible for everyone to enjoy the screening, torturing our poor feet to death :P all that aside -- we watched films, made subs and created the whole program for half a year (or more).
But enough with that :P the first day was extremely awesome. First of all, not many people attended it, so we had nice time together while watching stuff, eating and doing all those things normal people do or do not do. The film choice was also very nice, I must confess and the order :P
The day started with a dark humor comedy film, followed by a korean animation and afterwards the very awesome chinese film that left everyone speechless like always. I wonder if "nothing to say" in this review I was reading about the film 'Curse of the Golden Flower' was referring to the fact the reporters simply didn't have anything to say about the film.
Both films were really different and created two different images (completely). I liked that. Anyway, I should stop praising myself :P
There were some things we failed at, things we'll have to think through for tomorrow, as it is going to be a 'bigger' day with more films and more people. Technical problems solving -- here we come!
Unfortunately I can't find my USB cable, so I'm afraid I'll have to upload the pictures later. Took pictures of the ruins that were there before, and how we turned the ruins to be... more sympathetic looking ruins :D
Thanks everyone who helped with the screening, I'll credit you all later xD.
