Echo Chamber: LFF21 - Day 3
We enter 'Day 3' of the 65th BFI London Film Festival and on offer today is a documentary that reflects on a pivotal time for the environment & social conciseness. Then there's a new Amazon Studios @amazonstudios feature, that really puts an interesting spin on sci-fi and mental health!
Our @EchoChamberFP coverage keeps on coming!
'Mothers of the Revolution' is directed by Briar March and co-written with Matthew Metcalfe. This documentary tells the moving true story of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp and how it changed the world.
'Encounter' is the second film from Michael Pearce, which he co-wrote with Joe Barton. In possession of top-secret government information regarding an advancing alien invasion, a decorated war veteran (Riz Ahmed) races back to his former home to warn his estranged family of the impending danger. Believing his ex-wife (Janina Gavankar) to be already contaminated by the deadly inhuman threat, he flees the house with his two sons Jay (Lucian-River Chauhan) & Bobby (Aditya Geddada), embarking on a dangerous expedition to reach safety.
