This was an incredibly wonderful festival that showed all the filmmakers so much kindness and hospitality. Visiting Hiroshima and going to the museums that recount the horror of the bomb dropped there were very moving experiences. I enoyed Hiroshima and Tokyo very much and hope to get the opportunity to return there some day.
