The 20th edition of Tribeca Film Festival will take place be a hybrid event. While the festival co-founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff, will offer virtual events, films will also be screened at outdoor venues across five New York City boroughs.
Tribeca, which is one of the first major festival to have in-person attendance since the COVID-19 pandemic, takes place from 9 to 20 June and will feature a bevy of films, shorts, TV series, podcasts, and games, according to Variety. The line-up includes 66 films from filmmakers across the globe and 54 world premieres.
"To have the festival in-person, and to be able to have it immersed in the city the way that we are, is just the perfect way to help jump-start film again as a part of people’s lives," festival director Cara Cusumano told NY Daily News.
Some highly-anticipated projects in the line-up include Jon M Chu's adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway musical In the Heights (9 June), Steven Soderbergh's crime drama No Sudden Move (18 June). An untitled documentary produced by Dave Chappelle and Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar American Factory will close the event on 19 June.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the event will also host anniversary screenings of The Royal Tenenbaums, Fargo, The Five Heartbeats, and Raging Bull. The screenings will be followed by live-streamed conversations with the cast and directors of these films. Besides, Charlie Chaplin's first full-length feature, the silent film The Kid's 100th anniversary will be celebrated with a screening.
The annual Tribeca Talks series, where influential names from the film industry engage in conversation will have directors M Night Shyamalan, Doug Liman and Gina Prince-Bythewood. The storytellers panel will see discussions between Bradley Cooper and Guillermo del Toro, Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski, Scott Z Burns and Matthew Rhys, Shira Haas and Ali Wentworth and Blondie’s Debbie Harry, Clem Burke and Chris Stein.
