SAG-AFTRA and the studios have begun negotiations for a new film and TV contract. The talks, which got underway Wednesday morning at the Sherman Oaks offices of the studios’ reps the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, come two days after the guild’s members voted 97.9% in favor of authorizing a strike if an acceptable deal isn’t reached by the end of the month.

Brent Lang Executive Editor The Tribeca Festival excised “Film” from its name in 2021, and while it’s true that the annual celebration of all things entertainment has expanded to include plenty of television and immersive programming, the movies make it a must-attend event. This year’s lineup is no exception. It has big-name actors such as Michael Shannon and Jennifer Esposito trying their hand at directing, along with revelatory performances from stars like Nick Jonas. But what makes Tribeca so exciting is that it’s a springboard for bold new voices (keep your eyes on So Young Shelly Yo, making her feature directorial debut). As the fest gets ready to kick off on June 7, here are nine movies not to be missed.

Ice Spice changed up her signature look, swapping her copper-colored afro for butt-length crimped locks.For her performance at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, Ice Spice wore a plaid mini skirt that's taking me back to Abercrombie circa 2003, a studded belt that's taking me back to Hot Topic circa 2003, a cropped T-shirt, fishnets, black socks, and chunky loafers with silver hardware (I'm basically at the mall in 2003). Her hair is still copper but worn down, falling all the way to her butt. She went for a curvy side part with crimped ends. And here's her bright afro for comparison:While Ice Spice, who gained fame in 2022 after her single “Munch (Feelin' You)” went viral on TikTok, is best known for her copper ‘fro, she has worn her hair in different styles.

Niecy Nash-Betts faced tragedy. Her 17-year-old brother, Michael Ensley, was shot and killed at his high school in California. Nash-Betts has personally experienced the worst version of loss. That’s why when Netflix’s “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” was condemned by victims’ families, she had a unique perspective on the criticism. “My brother was murdered on his high school campus. And you never forget,” Nash-Betts says through tears. “You’re reminded if you pass a cemetery, by a favorite song, a smell, memory, photo. If you have had a loved one die in a horrific way, it is going to be with you for the rest of your life, not just from a TV show, so the goal would be — how do people remember them? Hopefully, there is some solace in us introducing your loved ones to the world, and not just having them just be a faceless, nameless person connected to this case. That was what I prayed for.”
