The closing ceremony took place on a<\/p>\n<p>coastal resort hotel terrace and unfolded much as a laidback outdoor jazz concert.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ssff.sakura.ne.jp\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1443\" src=\"http:\/\/ssff.sakura.ne.jp\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari1.jpg\" alt=\"bari1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was organized in a flexible and relaxed way that welcomed unexpected additions.

I came here to participate<\/p>\n<p>with my short film and watched it screen outdoors on the beach. You could say that the film<\/p>\n<p>itself was \u201cmoved by the wind.\u201d The kind of nostalgia that such a screening brought about is<\/p>\n<p>something that fitted perfectly with the Bali, while the special experience is something that<\/p>\n<p>you would struggle to have anywhere else these days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ssff.sakura.ne.jp\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1441 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ssff.sakura.ne.jp\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/bari2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the ceremony reached its peak, the crescent moon showed its face between the breaks in the cloud.
