Audience at Auditorium Shibuya.
The first Japan tour of Negative-Nothing ended with the two screenings on December 5th and 6th at Auditorium Shibuya in Tokyo – our most memorable screenings so far. A total of 300 people came to watch the documentary.
It was the first time for us to present the film to a larger Japanese audience. The positive reactions we received after the screenings and the following days over email and facebook were overwhelming. We assembled a small selection to give our audience in Japan a voice and give you a sense of what the film was like through their eyes.
We will continue to update this list. More comments are welcome through the comments section below. Thank you!
