It's 'Day 10' and @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ has two films to look at, as we keep 67th BFI London Film Festival (4th to 15th October 2023), coverage rolling!!!

Delving into the 'Journey' and 'Official Competition' strands, these are very different offerings, but both very captivating!!!

'All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt' is written & directed by Raven Jackson. Mack (Kaylee N. Johnson, Charleen McClure, Zainab Jah) has been taught to know the earth – the woods, the water and the clay, which her ancestors drew sustenance from. But life itself, in all its messy beauty, is less predictable.

'The End We Start From' is directed by Mahalia Belo which he co-wrote with Alice Birch, it's an adaptation of Megan Hunter 2017 book of the same name. After an ecological crisis, a couple (Jodie Comer & Joel Fry) and their newborn baby abandon their home in flooded London and flee northwards looking for safety and a place to re-start their lives.

Today we have:
