Lamin Leroy Gibba On His Breakout Series ‘Black Fruit’ & The Fight To Maintain Progressive Storytelling In Germany: “We Have To Be Loud” — BFI Flare
Black Fruit debuted at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival before a highly publicized release on ARD in Germany.
There was some disgruntled chatter within parts of the German contingent at this year’s Berlinale about what had been perceived as a shortage of local projects in the festival’s main competition lineup. The series is set in contemporary Hamburg and follows the journey of mid-twenty Lalo (Gibba) as he grapples with the sudden loss of his father, embarking on a tumultuous path of impulsive decisions that reverberate through his life and those around him.
