'DNA' by Kendrick Lamar – 2017

It's 'Day 7', which means we're halfway through the '65th BFI London Film Festival' and there's no stop to the great stories coming your way.

Today we go to a fashion shoot, a busy restaurant kitchen and dusty tundra of Montana.

The @echochamberfp festival coverage is at full steam!

'Belfast' written and directed by Kenneth Branagh It’s 1969 and the imaginative, free-spirited Buddy (major discovery Jude Hill) knows every inch of and every person in his street of Protestant and Catholic families. He pops into neighbouring houses as though they were his own and people look out for him while his working-class parents (Jamie Dornan and Caitriona Balfe) hustle to make ends meet. But this blissful sense of security is about to be broken by sectarian violence and the tanks that sweep through the city.
