July 01, 2024 EFTV - 192 (Kafka)
It's been a minute f'sure, BUT 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV is back with the goodness!!!

We're slightly off pest today, as it's all about the literary legend, Franz Kafka! Did you know that 6th June 2024 was the 100 year anniversary of his death (3rd July 1883 — 3rd June 1924)? I didn't, but smarter people did, and so we have a new limited TV series about the man's life.

Now, due to subtitles, we only looked at the first episode (which was great), BUT, we also sat down with the director / co-writer of the piece, for an enthralling insight into the series' creation. Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/d0OUiL4iDFg

'Kafka' is directed by David Schalko, who co-wrote with Daniel Kehlmann based upon Reiner Stach book trilogy, 'Kafka – Die Jahre der Entscheidungen', 'Kafka – Die Jahre der Erkenntnis' & 'Kafka. Die frühen Jahre'. The story of Franz Kafka’s (Joel Basman) life from different perspectives. Presenting his difficult relationship with his domineering father Hermann (Nicholas Ofczarek), his deep friendship with Max Brod (David Kross) and his various love affairs.

June 30, 2024 Echo Chamber - 27th DWFLA - Story of the Sun
This is it, the last day of Dances With Films (20th June - 30th June 2024) LA edition and @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ has you covered for 'Day 11'!!!

Now, this film / short isn't actually screening today, but it was so good, inventive, and meaningful, we had to hit you with a feature. Especially when Kelli McNeil-Yellen had a hook-up for a sit-down with the inventive mind behind the work! And what a layered & rich discussion it was, obviously we talked about the making of the film, but also touch upon subjects like sustainability, climate change, corporate manipulation, and collaboration. This was the perfect way to bring our LA coverage to a close....don't miss it!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/v2d8t3JzrKU

'Story Of The Sun' is written & directed by Phillip Gladkov, and narrated by Tsukuru Fors. This is the first stop-motion animation in the world made entirely from birch bark. It shares the tale of how the first humans discovered fire, changing the world forever. It’s especially meaningful that this film is made from birch bark—a material used for starting fires since the Neanderthal era.

It's a movie for both children and adults, and filled with humor, valuable lessons, and emotionally touching moments.

It's the penultimate day of our Dances With Films (20th June - 30th June 2024) @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ coverage, 'Day 10', and there's no letting up!!!

Things get heavy this episode, as we're delving into the realm of mental heath and bipolar. It's a raw look through the window of a couples life together and how a relationship can be impacted. THEN, the raw & real continues with a confab that peels back the process, the what's, the why's, and contemplates the repercussions of a body of work like this. Truly fascinating across the board, this is not to be missed!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/r69Kb2lq1mU

'Spyral' is written & directed by Bill Guttentag, and artfully narrated by Michelle Trachtenberg. A tragic true story that reveals the mental health epidemic in America. This is a dramatic and powerful view of the toll that bipolarism takes on one woman’s (Michelle Cody White) life and the family (Randall Scott White) she leaves behind. With over a decade of home videos, diaries and social media, Oscar -winning director, Bill Guttentag, stitches together the tragic story and the mystery behind it.

It's about time for 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ and if you're in Manhattan, take note!!!

We're getting all experimental with this new indie lo-fi horror / drama, which makes incredible use of colour & sound. THEN, we have the young lady who created the whole thing in the hot seat. We learn how she was able to get the different affects we see. Her journey to discovering her visual style, the relationship with she has with sleep, and a lot more!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/Xe1eBPMZhr8

'Nyctophobia' is the feature directorial debut from Seayoon Jeong, which he also wrote. Liz (Olivia Clari Nice) struggles with nyctophobia (fear of the dark), a form of anxiety disorder that causes sleeping issues. She desperately tries to fall asleep by entering her “inner world,” where she can access happy childhood memories. However, she becomes trapped in a time loop in her lucid dreams and encounters a nightmare, Dark Figure (Christopher Gilbert), who appears in various clown forms. The loop pushes her deeper into her dreams, forcing her to reach her subconscious, where she meets her worst nightmare: the original form of Dark Figure.

In 'Part Two' we have:

Her life appears perfect and tranquil, but Simu runs from a dark past. One chaotic morning ignites a vengeful spirit, NGOZI. Ngozi warns Simu that her life will crumble if she doesn’t repay the debt she owes by Nicole’s 13th birthday. Simu endures tests and temptations that threaten to ruin her carefully crafted life. She must find a way to turn her destructive streak into a force that will help her build anew, or everything she loves will become ash.
