It was full, but a relatively small screen and tickets were still available up until the day.
Although I questioned the wisdom of showing it on release day (never mind at all), the film worked well on the big(ish) screen. I also thought it was odd before seeing it that Sylvian / Manafon weren't so much as mentioned, and that maybe this was another 'Red Guitar isn't going in my retrospective' moment. But once you've watched the thing, you know how out of place DS would have been had he featured. It was very well made / edited, with solid contributions from all of the participants.
I thought it was worth going. I enjoyed the David Toop opening and the director Q & A. Wish I knew exactly which audience member Yuka Fujii was though. I've been hearing her name for the bets part of 30 years and don't think I've even seen a proper photograph.
