Toronto to Tribeca to JOBURG > in the Regal Cinema above the low west of New York City, I found 23 year old filmmaker Sibs Shongwe-LaMer’s NECKTIE YOUTH. Every frame is like a portrait in this b&w narrative collage – funny, painful, poetic, confessional, multi-cult, docudrama remix, set in an upClass suburb in post-apartheid SA. And even in the here/now, the inner struggle is still real. A day-in-the-life story sparked by a live-streamed suicide. Sibs speaks at #tff2015 Tribeca Talks “Script & Screen” on April 18 – Barnes and Noble Union Square, 1PM. #filmlife #southafrica #nyc #motionliveeye
