Echo Chamber - BFI Flare 22 - Day 13
Watch the conversation with Bea Delgado Mena HERE!
Now, you're not mistaken, the '36th BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival' has finished, BUT, like Steve Jobs, we have one more thing!
Today @EchoChamberFP coverage takes a look at our last Short, and then we sit down with it's very talented Cinematographer.
‘Octopus’ is written & directed by Ella Glendining. Mini (Annabelle Davis) returns to the seaside town in which she grew up for the funeral of one of her closest friends, Frank. Frank’s death is beyond tragic, but not a complete surprise to those that knew him best. Having moved away and unexpectedly started a family, Mini is guilt-ridden that she hadn’t seen Frank in the year since she had her baby, a year which has been fraught with adjusting to her new identity as a mum.
Today we have:
