Years ago I went to a festival of short films. There were competitions and prizes for the best short films. It was a night of animated films (动画片) from 9 p. m. on Saturday to 6 a. m. on Sunday. Every audience (观众) could get a free breakfast with their tickets on Sunday morning.
There were three parts running through the night. Each part had several animated films and music videos. Some films were so good that the audience couldn't take their eyes off the screen even for a minute.
I was surprised when I found even the night staff (全体职员) were very happy and friendly. You could tell that all the people there enjoyed themselves. Once inside the theatre, it was difficult to get a seat because you had to climb over other seats. Some audience threw around paper planes to show their happiness.
By the third part of the night you could tell that everyone was getting tired. People were drinking coffee during the break. I tried tostay upuntil the end. I think it was a really wonderful experience.
