Echo Chamber - BFIFlare21 - Day 6 - a podcast by Kevin Scott

The 35th 'BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival' has entered its '6th Day'.

@echochamberfp https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ today has a feature film debut from one director and the eighth film from another. One's dealing with body positivity and the other re-aligning with love for others & self, along with dealing with deep trauma. 

'Well Rounded' is a vibrant and unique documentary written & directed by Shana Myara to put the spot light on "fat and fierce babes in Canada who are using their creativity to clap back at a diet culture that seeks to shrink marginalised bodies." It tells its story through the experiences of 

four women, Ivory, Joanne Tsung, Lydia Okello, Candy Palmater. Along with a couple of doctors, Dr Jenny Ellison, Dr Janet Tomiyama, who offer insight from another perspective. The utilisation of music, animation and these lived experiences help bring this story to life.

'Sublet' is directed by Eytan Fox who also co-wrote it with Itay Segal. It's about Michael (John Benjamin Hickey), who is using his job as a New York Times travel writer to get distance and clarity on buried trauma. He goes to Tel Aviv for a weeks assignment. Taking a sublet to explore the real city. Unfortunately, Tomer (Niv Nissim) the landlord has got the dates mixed up and is still at the flat. Michael needs a tour guide, so Tomer crashes on the sofa. Adventures are had, with his friend Daria (Lihi Kornowski), his mother, etc, offering Michael a real insight into the city and maybe, into what he really wants from his future.
