DRESSED LIKE KINGS
Dressed Like Kings presents a compelling glimpse into a South African sub-culture unknown to most Westerners– oswenka (to swank); a tradition where men don their finest apparel for the weekly title of “Best Dressed” and a greater sense of self-worth. The stories of fellow oswenkas–Simon Khoza, Adolphus Mbuyisa, and Bhekiznzo Buthelezi– will reveal the mystique of swanking, explore the origins of this fifty-year old tradition within the Zulu culture, and highlight the extent the participants will go to feel good about themselves. We soon discover that this self-love is threatened by exuberant prices, dying interest, and a new generation who would rather sport jeans and a T-shirt. Lastly, Dressed Like Kings questions whether this expression of self-love is worth the price.

6 THINGS I NEVER TOLD YOU
In the Summer of 2005, six award-winning NYU Alums of the Graduate Film Program came together and formed the collective, 6 Leagues, a New York based underground film collective.
Committed to the notion of collaboration and exploration, Ed Durante, Rod Gailes O.B.C., Caran Hartsfield, Stacey L. Holman, Cinque Northern and James Richards, created: 6 Things I Never Told You, a feature film anthology of cinematic snapshots examining committed romantic relationships in flux. Each segment stakes out a significant landmark in the time line of relationships renewed, dominated, lost and longing for one thing. Control.
Together, they have explored all manners of political, cultural, and sexual material. All grown up now, what do they have to say about the most controversial topic of our time: LOVE?
