Echo Chamber - LFF 23 - Recap (with Daniel Glenn-Barbour)

Just like the great, late Steve Jobs, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ has "One More Thing" in regards to the 67th BFI London Film Festival (4th to 15th October 2023)!!!

Over 'Twelve' tremendous days, we were able to check out '25 Feature Films' and '8 Shorts', so one of the great new voices on the British film scene passed through to talk about everything that was consumed!

As a creative, Daniel Glenn-Barbour attended the Festival in an 'Industry' capacity, so had plenty of different experiences to those of 'Press'. All of this is covered, and there are plenty of tangents, where the industry as a whole, is explored. BUT, we do lay out our favourite films of this year’s event!
