At Roppongi, where the center of cosmopolitanism in Tokyo, the 18th international film festival were held for one week from October 22. I went to the openeing ceremony and screening not just for paparazzi photos of famous movie stars (of course I looked forward to that), but to welcome Carol, my former boss at Washington DC Independent Film Festival who came to Japan for the festival. I was working for her festival while studying movie business. Since she likes Japanese foods, cultures and many, she has hired Japanese intern every year, and successive interns could make get together again this time.
We enjoyed great reunion eating and drinking traditional Japanese foods, and went to sightseeing around Tokyo. They are curious about everything so that sometimes we can hardly answer their questions. Thanks to that, I reaffirm my recognition of the need for understanding our own history and culture, and over the long run, that leads us to have global consciousness. The weekend reminded me mind of a world citizen.
