The Osaka European Film Festival came to a close on Tuesday, and it was quite an eventful weekend. Between taking pictures at the festival to all-night parties, to sightseeing with some of the guests, I finished sleep deprived. Luckily it seems that my recent regimen of soups with onion, garlic and ginger might have warded off the cold I thought was coming!
I enjoyed the most the time I spent with Séverine Cornamusaz, director of the intense
Cœur Animal, and her husband Patrick Schranz, photographer and printer. We got along well from the get go, as Séverine's writer is from Québec and one of the
lead in her next movie also lives in la
belle province. We went eating together as often as we could, and the day after the festival I guided them first to the Minoh quasi-national park to see the waterfall and colours of fall, and in the evening we had dinner again, before having a drink at the
Blarney Stone, Shinsaibashi, where my
Bicycle Diaries exhibition is held until the middle of next week.
Well, I leave you with some shots of the OEFF.
