MIFF ended on the 17th.
This year was the first time I went alone because none of my friends wanted to see Wetlands, a German film based on a book about a girl obsessed with body fluids amongst other things… and it was actually so wonderful. The line to enter was crazy but expected and being alone I was able to ignore everyone and just listen to music and people-watch and then I literally got the best seat; because the cinema was so full by the time I got in there were lots of horrible seats in the very front and the screen at the Capital is so giant that my eyes would have died sitting there… but being alone I was able to take the singular, free seat much higher, it was in the exact centre of a row and only free because the people on either side of it were in giant groups, separated by that one seat!
